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

• Scaling of the cognitive Selfconcept0.802
  The process by which smaller agents join into a larger emergent Self with expanded cognitive light cones, mediated by gap junctions.
• Cognitive scalingconcept0.801
  Process by which low-level competencies scale to larger problem-solving abilities across levels of organization.
• Scaling intelligence via expansion of cognitive boundaries through inclusion of others' stress-reduction in one's own homeostatic loops.claim0.801
  Central thesis: expanding an agent's sensors and goals outward to include others' states creates bidirectional feedback loop that scales intelligence and increases compassion.
• Cognitive capacities exist on a spectrum and tools from behavioral sciences can be productively applied to understand and control systems far beyond familiar animals with central nervous systems.claim0.799
  Core tenet of diverse intelligence; justifies the methodological borrowing across fields.
• Continuum of cognitive capacitiesconcept0.791
  Core TAME tenet that cognitive capacities form a continuum without binary bright lines, essential for gradualist approach.
• How Does Cognitive Capacity Scale From Single Cellsquestion0.786
• We hypothesize that introspective capabilities may scale with model size and architecture, including recurrence/looping that extends the integration windowhypothesis0.785
  Forward-looking prediction about whether early-layer introspection generalizes to larger models or recurrent architectures
• The key question is not only the scale-up of a unitary cognitive capacity, but the many-into-one transition: the emergence of minds from collectives, working in spaces beyond those of their component cells.quote0.785
  Encapsulates the core challenge of the field.
