• How do plants achieve sentience without nervous tissue or centralized processor?question0.892
  Question posed and addressed by Rouleau & Levin; drives the argument that substrate independence applies to sentience.
• Can Plants Achieve Sentience Or Felt States Withoutquestion0.854
• Felt states can be achieved in multiple ways and by many different biological substrates, analogous to how computation is multiply realizable.hypothesis0.825
  Foundational hypothesis bridging multiple realizability principle to consciousness; core argument for plant sentience possibility.
• It is highly implausible that all sentient life in the universe achieves felt states using the neural circuitry underlying human Consciousness on earth.claim0.798
  Reinforcement of substrate independence: Earth-like neural circuits are unlikely to be the sole substrate.
• It is quite possible that felt states can be achieved in multiple ways and by many different biological substrates.concept0.794
  Load-bearing quote summarizing the paper's core hypothesis about sentience substrate independence.
• Cognitive capacities including sentience can be achieved by non-neural tissueshypothesis0.783
  Central hypothesis: sentience is not exclusive to neural systems; other biological substrates may achieve felt states.
• If felt states in humans and other animals are always inferred, why is the same leap from observable behaviour to inferred sentience not afforded to other organisms, including plants?question0.778
  Central question of the commentary; challenges the double standard in attributing sentience.
• There is no privileged material substrate for Selves; cognition can arise in neurons, single cells, plants, tissues, swarms, and engineered systems.claim0.760
  Second foundational pillar of TAME; supports basal cognition and rejects brain-centrism.
