• Can Gap Junctional Connectivity Be Used As Aquestion0.800
• If gap junction-mediated bioelectric networks implement the unified Self, then gap junction blockers should function as general anesthetics across biology.hypothesis0.769
  Already supported by data in plants, Hydra, and humans, but broader cross-species testing is predicted.
• Gap junctional coupling partially erases informational boundaries between cells, enabling the scaling of the Self to tissue- and organ-level goals.claim0.755
  Proposes a mechanism for how merging physiological states via gap junctions creates a new, larger cognitive agent.
• Gap junctional coupling scales up the cognitive Self by partially erasing informational boundaries between cells.hypothesis0.752
  A mechanistic model: loss of ownership information on internal signals fuses cells into larger agents.
• Gap Junctionsconcept0.742
  Cellular connections that enable bioelectric communication; form bioelectric networks underlying morphogenetic control and can be manipulated experimentally via molecular reagents.
• Gap junctions provide a dynamic that massively augments cooperative interactions and scales cognitive boundary.claim0.740
  Explains the biological mechanism for cognitive scaling.
• gap junction manipulationmethod0.734
