• Selves exist across a continuum of persuadability.claim0.785
  A system's agency is determined by the most efficient intervention strategy (reward, punishment, argument).
• There is no privileged material substrate for Selves; cognition can arise in neurons, single cells, plants, tissues, swarms, and engineered systems.claim0.783
  Second foundational pillar of TAME; supports basal cognition and rejects brain-centrism.
• The exponential or super-exponential reproductive potential of digital minds could allow them to vastly outnumber humans in a relatively short time, correspondingly increasing the collective strength of their moral claimsclaim0.780
  Establishes the reproductive capacity dimension of super-beneficiary status
• Consciousness and capacity for suffering may be distributed across multiple scales within composite beings, not limited to single 'I'.claim0.770
• Multiple regions of the soma and body components may possess consciousness and deserve care equivalent to the verbal self.claim0.769
  Extends care beyond artificial boundaries of physiological continuity or verbal reportability.
• If different organizations of nervous tissue can achieve the same functions, the possibility that cognitive capacities, including sentience, can be achieved by other tissues should be considered.claim0.769
  Conditional claim urging consideration of non-neural tissues for cognition.
• Digital minds with humanlike capabilities could think at least thousands of times, and perhaps millions of times, faster than humans given sufficient hardwarehypothesis0.769
  Grounds the subjective speed dimension of super-beneficiary status
• Cognitive capacities evolve through continuity across natural, hybrid, and synthetic life forms using conserved bioelectric mechanismsclaim0.767
