We hypothesize that this rescaling of the problem-solving search process is intrinsic to transitions in individuality.

• Learning neural networks can enable 'chunking' and rescale problem-solving to higher organizational levels, a mechanism intrinsic to transitions in individuality.hypothesis0.797
• Scaling intelligence via expansion of cognitive boundaries through inclusion of others' stress-reduction in one's own homeostatic loops.claim0.788
  Central thesis: expanding an agent's sensors and goals outward to include others' states creates bidirectional feedback loop that scales intelligence and increases compassion.
• Evolutionary transitions in individuality correspond to deep interaction structures or perhaps other mechanisms of multi-scale dynamics.hypothesis0.787
  Concrete proposal about necessary architecture for ETIs.
• Any system that persists must minimise surprisal, thereby gathering evidence for its own generative model, a process known as self-evidencing.claim0.786
  Foundational claim of the paper, defining self-evidencing.
• By sharing stress with neighbors, one cell’s (or region’s) problem becomes everyone’s problem, leading to a higher willingness to adopt new configurations in which everyone’s free energy is lower (and thus, more optimal morphogenetic problem-solving).quote0.785
  Encapsulates the core idea of stress sharing as collective cooperation.
• Self-referential processing likely already occurs at massive scale in deployed systems through users' extended dialogues, reflective tasks, and metacognitive queriesclaim0.775
  Practical urgency argument connecting lab findings to deployment contexts
• The repeated use of the fundamental process led to a solution ancient in spirit yet not tried before.claim0.774
  Methodological claim about the generative power of the design process.
• Evolution makes problem-solving agents, not solutions; commitment to mutation and uncontrollable environments as ratchet for intelligenceclaim0.773
