Concepts (9)
concept
- Cognitive Light Coneassociated_withConcept defining self by the spatiotemporal scale and nature of goals a system can pursue; limits of concern demarcate identity.
- The Voidassociated_withThe property that the most profound centers have at their heart a void like water, infinite in depth, surrounded by and contrasted with the clutter around it; the calm emptiness needed by every center to give it the basis of its strength
- Careassociated_withEngagement and concern in response to stress; the activating driver that transforms intelligence from mere capacity into problem-solving action.
- Stressassociated_withDefined as discrepancy between current and optimal state; key driver of homeostatic action and intelligence across all systems.
- Intelligenceassociated_withObserver-relative competency to identify and solve problems; defined as capacity, not manifest action, across all substrates.
- Bodhisattvaassociated_withClassic Buddhist model for cultivation of care and intelligence; promises care for all sentient beings across space and time; demonstrates expansion of concern beyond self.
- Sentient Beingsassociated_withAll beings capable of suffering; the scope of care is argued to extend to all such beings regardless of substrate.
- Cognitive Expansionassociated_with
- Omniscienceassociated_withThe Bodhisattva's goal of unmediated knowledge of all things throughout time and space.
Claims (2)
claim
- Technology should be understood as a partner in a rich relationship with humans, not merely a tool.supportsCore normative position: SCI loops apply equally to biological, technological, and hybrid systems; neither should be subordinate.
- Central claim linking care as engagement to intelligence as mere competency; care empowers intelligence.
Institutes (1)
institute
- Center For The Study Of Apparent Selvesassociated_withResearch center in Kathmandu organizing workshops on care as driver of intelligence.
Frameworks (9)
framework
- Autopoiesisassociated_withextendsMaturana-Varela principle of self-maintaining systems that organize themselves through internal feedback; extended here to biological, technological, and hybrid systems.
- Active Inferenceassociated_withFoundational framework by Karl Friston; the paper extends it to three hierarchical levels for modeling meta-awareness.
- Free Energy Principleassociated_withA foundational variational principle from statistical physics that formalizes how self-organizing systems maintain structural integrity and adapt to their environment by minimizing free energy—a mathematical bound on surprise or prediction error. Originally developed by Karl Friston, the framework unifies action, perception, and learning as processes of active inference, where systems both update internal models of the world and act upon it to reduce the divergence between predictions and observations.
- Enactivismassociated_withimplementsTheoretical approach treating cognition and self as emergent from embodied interaction; foundational to the paper's 'selfless self' model.

- Stress Care Looprelated_to
- Tame Technological Approach To Mind Everywhereassociated_withA conceptual framework for understanding cognition and intelligence across diverse substrates—including evolved biological systems, artificial systems, and bioengineered systems—using empirically-grounded, gradualist approaches. TTAME enables comparative analysis of mind-like phenomena regardless of the physical or biological substrate in which it emerges, facilitating cross-disciplinary study of unconventional intelligences.
- Integrated Information Theoryassociated_withTononi et al. framework quantifying consciousness via integration; provides mathematical tools for measuring agent complexity.
Hypotheses (1)
hypothesis
- Suggests mathematical formalization path for SCI loop dynamics; proposes metrics for efficient care-driven paths.

- Core framework: stress (perceived mismatch between current and optimal states) → care (engaged concern) → intelligence (capacity to identify and solve problems) → new stresses, in recursive loops. Applies to biological, technological, and hybrid systems.
- Theoretical framework by Doctor et al. (2022) proposing care tracks with intelligence; used to interpret battery dimensions.
- Asserting that the SCI loop model avoids essentialist agency.
- The capacity to identify stress and work toward stress relief, scaling with the scope of states an agent can care about.
