• Gap junctions provide an 'owner wiping property' for signaling molecules, leading to partial erasure of individual identity for cells in a network and enabling a higher-order emergent collective.claim0.787
  Mechanistic claim for how collectives scale.
• Gap junctions enable 'mind meld' through impossibility of information hidingfinding0.780
• Wiping of ownership information by gap junctionsconcept0.768
  Gap junctional coupling erases origin metadata of signals, causing cells to experience false physiological memories, binding them into a larger Self.
• Gap junctional coupling partially erases informational boundaries between cells, enabling the scaling of the Self to tissue- and organ-level goals.claim0.761
  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.hypothesis0.761
  A mechanistic model: loss of ownership information on internal signals fuses cells into larger agents.
• Gap junctions provide a dynamic that massively augments cooperative interactions and scales cognitive boundary.claim0.750
  Explains the biological mechanism for cognitive scaling.
• Gap junctional coupling wipes ownership information on signaling molecules, enabling the formation of multicellular Selves.claim0.749
  Because cells cannot distinguish internally generated signals from those arriving through GJs, they share memories and bind into a larger agent.
