The personal may be recognized as a vital substrate underlying matter since the origins of time, and architecture must be steered to allow this recognition in experience

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

• If self or I is woken up whenever living structure appears in matter, what we think of as value may then be described as the protection, preservation, nourishment, of the precious self of the universe.claim0.779
  New assumption #8: value as protection of the universal self.
• There is no privileged material substrate for Selves; cognition can arise in neurons, single cells, plants, tissues, swarms, and engineered systems.claim0.779
  Second foundational pillar of TAME; supports basal cognition and rejects brain-centrism.
• The issue is not whether the process will produce living structure if done faithfully — it will — but whether the maker has the stamina and will to keep rejecting versions that lack life.claim0.777
  Alexander's claim that the limiting factor in creating living structure is not method but the maker's persistence.
• We must develop principled approaches to evaluating the sentience of (and thus, our responsibility to) beings of unfamiliar provenance and composition.claim0.777
  Call to action for new frameworks.
• The key to being an individual is to have a functional structure in which diverse experiences across its components are bound together in a way that generates causal relationships and composite memories that belong to the higher space of the individual and not its components.claim0.775
  Defines individuality in terms of information binding across parts.
• Minds are not tightly bound to specific architectures but readily mold to changes in genomic defaults and material substrate.claim0.774
  Central claim supporting TAME's framework: evidence of cognitive flexibility across diverse embodied systems.
• Social process must necessarily be architectural process, and that architectural process must necessarily be life-creating.claim0.773
• No Privileged Material Substrate for Mindclaim0.773
  Minds not exclusively neural; basal cognition identifies intelligences in single cells, plants, tissues, swarms; brains pre-date neurons evolutionarily.
