- Core claim: Turing test and brain homology fail for synthetic, AI, and radically non-human agents; new frameworks required.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edgeEntities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
- Call to action for new frameworks.
- Central question driving the paper; necessitated by imminent proliferation of cyborgs, synthetic organisms, and AI.
- Core normative claim: frameworks must identify fundamental properties of sentience independent of phylogenetic accident or familiar substrates.
- Developing principled sentience frameworks is an existential requirement for humankindhypothesis0.807Levin's argument that adequate sentience assessment frameworks are necessary for responsible co-evolution with novel embodied intelligences.
- Load-bearing conclusion: generalized sentience frameworks are essential for ethical and survival-level reasons.
