• Goals and stressors are key invariants unifying cognitive systems across diverse embodiments.claim0.911
  Levin's assertion that goal-directed activity is the unifying principle across morphogenesis, behavior, and physiological allostasis.
• Goals and Stressors as Unifying Invariantshypothesis0.874
  Goals (cybernetic sense) and stressors (distance from goals) proposed as deep invariants allowing comparison of agents in diverse embodiments across morphogenesis, behavior, and allostasis.
• Stress is a good candidate for a central invariant across active agents of diverse scale and composition.claim0.818
  Broad interdisciplinary claim from the work.
• Stress, as a systemic response to distance from setpoint states, serves as the glue of agency, binding subunits into higher Selves.claim0.803
  Stress propagation through gap junctions recruits distant cells to act cooperatively.
• The setpoint state that defines homeostatic stress is better understood as an emergent goal-construct rather than a concrete equilibrium state.claim0.793
  Distinguishes SCI dynamics from simple homeostasis.
• Cells exhibit generalization in physiological space, recognizing novel stressors as members of familiar classes to deploy transcriptional solutions.hypothesis0.793
  Predicts that cells can categorize perturbations and mount appropriate, not just hardwired, responses.
• Stress, care, and intelligence manifest in continuous loops; successfully overcoming a stress factor through intelligence necessarily introduces new problem spaces.claim0.792
  Explaining the autogenerative nature of SCI loops.
• Stress motivates care; care produces the alleviating structure. Visual and physical sense gates are different access points to the same care manifold.claim0.790
