• Bioelectric networks scale cell computation into anatomical homeostasis and are a mechanism for evolving larger Selves.claim0.874
  Developmental bioelectricity is proposed as a tractable entry point to understand the informational architecture of collective intelligence in morphogenesis.
• Bioelectric networks scale agency across organizational levels by integrating homeostatic competencies of cells into emergent systems with larger cognitive light cones.claim0.834
  Core thesis: bioelectric networks provide the mechanism by which single-cell homeostasis becomes organism-level agency through integration and feedback loops.
• If gap junction-mediated bioelectric networks implement the unified Self, then gap junction blockers should function as general anesthetics across biology.hypothesis0.825
  Already supported by data in plants, Hydra, and humans, but broader cross-species testing is predicted.
• Bioelectric networks discovered by evolution ~time of bacterial biofilms; served as ideal medium for scaling computation and information synthesis before neural systems.finding0.825
  Evidence that pre-neural bioelectric infrastructure predates and likely precedes neurobiology; supports continuity of intelligence across substrates.
• Bioelectric signaling networks among cells implement information processing that scales from individual cell goals to organ-level construction and repair targets in regenerative medicine contextsfinding0.817
  Empirical finding supporting the cognitive light cone concept and collective cellular intelligence claims
• Bioelectric networks, with their inherent plasticity, multiscale historicity, and learning capacity, are an ideal kind of 'cognitive glue' that binds the primitive goal-directedness of single cells into a higher order system.concept0.815
  Canonical definition of the paper's central concept; encapsulates mechanism of cognitive scaling through bioelectric integration.
• Gap junctional coupling partially erases informational boundaries between cells, enabling the scaling of the Self to tissue- and organ-level goals.claim0.810
  Proposes a mechanism for how merging physiological states via gap junctions creates a new, larger cognitive agent.
• Developmental bioelectricity scales cell-level feedback into anatomical homeostasis.hypothesis0.809
