• Multi-scale Autonomyconcept0.776
  Dynamic interplay of competition and cooperation at multiple organizational levels; essential feature of organisms and developmental intelligence.
• Multi-scale competency architecture smoothens the fitness landscape, reduces pleiotropy, enables exploitation of opportunities, and improves controllability, thereby potentiating evolution.claim0.766
  MCA provides evolvability advantages by buffering negative mutation effects and enabling independent selection of traits.
• Self-similarity and multi-scale competency currently remain a real feature that distinguishes living systems from machines, though there is no deep reason preventing engineered artifacts from exploiting it.claim0.765
  The one property the authors acknowledge still distinguishes life from machines, but frame as contingent not essential
