finding
- Zhang, Goldstein & Levin (2025) minimal-system finding used as core evidence for un-programmed cognitive competency in deterministic algorithms.
- Xenobots self-assembled from frog skin cells exhibit kinematic self-replication across generationsassociated_withCited (Kriegman et al. 2021) as evidence that evolutionarily-unselected constructs display unpredicted novel competencies.
Frameworks (1)
framework
- The paper's central proposed framework: a structured, non-physical, causally efficacious latent space of patterns ranging from static mathematical truths to full kinds of minds, which 'ingress' into physical embodiments.
