Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Newtonian Mechanics (Classical Physics)framework0.822
Pre-quantum physics based on point masses and deterministic laws, which cannot explain the stability of chemical bonds necessary for life.
Quantum Mechanicsconcept0.809
Theoretical framework Schrödinger argues is essential for explaining chemical stability of genes and hereditary substance against thermal perturbation.
Computational Functionalismframework0.791
Hypothesis that some class of computations suffices for consciousness; central assumption for AI consciousness route.
Bayesian Mechanicsframework0.787
Computationalismframework0.778
Position that all phenomena can be fully captured as discrete and finite state transitions; grounded in mathematical constructivism
Computational economic analysismethod0.776
The dominant methodological approach across all discovered papers; contrasts with anthropological/historical comparison methods.
Computational Phenomenologyconcept0.774
Framework by Sandved Smith et al. (2021) formalizing hierarchy from perception to meta-awareness; grounds self_observation dimension.
Principle of Computational Equivalenceframework0.765
Wolfram's principle that systems above a low threshold of complexity are computationally equivalent, supporting substrate independence of consciousness
