• How Can Cognition Occur In Biological Systems Withoutquestion0.843
• Cognitive capacities including sentience can be achieved by non-neural tissueshypothesis0.840
  Central hypothesis: sentience is not exclusive to neural systems; other biological substrates may achieve felt states.
• Can Cognition Exist In Nonneural Biological Systems Suchquestion0.824
• If different organizations of nervous tissue can achieve the same functions, the possibility that cognitive capacities, including sentience, can be achieved by other tissues should be considered.claim0.797
  Conditional claim urging consideration of non-neural tissues for cognition.
• Cognition and learning are substrate-independent; principles familiar in artificial neural networks can be implemented by any network of signals with suitable weighted inputs.claim0.795
  Central thesis enabling unification of neural, developmental, ecological, and social networks as instances of collective intelligence.
• There is no privileged material substrate for Selves; cognition can arise in neurons, single cells, plants, tissues, swarms, and engineered systems.claim0.793
  Second foundational pillar of TAME; supports basal cognition and rejects brain-centrism.
• Cognition and learning are substrate-independent.quote0.790
  Bold, load-bearing tenet of the paper's framework.
