• What are the natural limits on an agent's sphere of concern, and can these limits be systematically expanded?question0.829
• agent-environment boundaryconcept0.726
  The demarcation that would separate an agent from its environment, which the paper argues is unevidenceable.
• The boundary between agent and environment is not a physical object discovered in the world but a modelling choiceclaim0.715
  Established via Zanardi (2002) and the Hamiltonian decomposition argument in §2.1; foundational for the emptiness formalisation
• Binding of Agents into Larger Selvesconcept0.707
  The process by which competent subunits are integrated into a higher-level Self, e.g., via gap junctions wiping ownership information on signals.
• What Defines The Boundaries Of A Cognitive Agentquestion0.704
• How do limits of care and scope of concern become defined across agents and scales?question0.702
  Paper asks whether care expands linearly with problem scale (e.g., caring about 10,000 vs. 1,000 people); hints at necessary bounds on cognitive capacity.
• Evidencing the boundary that would constitute the agent as an entity separate from their environment is provably impossible.claim0.698
  Central thesis: the self-environment cut cannot be self-evidencing.
• What is the boundary of self and how do Selves change during an agent's lifetime?question0.690
