  Used to introduce the section arguing life and machines are both instances of embodied computation in different media
• Biology and computer science are not two different fields; they are both branches of information science, working in distinct media with much in common.claim0.774
  Strong unification claim motivating the proposed new science of embodied computation
• "Computational processes are abstract beings that inhabit computers... A computational process is indeed much like a sorcerer's idea of a spirit. It cannot be seen or touched. It is not composed of matter at all."quote0.736
  Load-bearing quote from SICP framing computation as spirit-like; grounds the cyberanimism framework
• Much of what is written by philosophers of science is either false or incomplete because they do not take account of the implications of Schrödinger's ideas for chemistry and biology.claim0.736
  Sloman's broad methodological critique of philosophy of science.
• A computer program is not defined by its language or hardware but as an abstract causal pattern, a dynamic mathematical structure that influences the physical universe without violating its causal closure.claim0.736
  Paper's ontological characterization of software enabling cyberanimism
• Hardware becomes faster more slowly than software becomes slower.concept0.715
• "This will simply be another 'finger pointing at the moon,' in a language that might provide a generative bridge between the contemplative and scientific domains of inquiry."quote0.709
  Frames the paper's epistemic status and intent; invokes the traditional Buddhist metaphor to situate the formal model
• Information can increase in computation only relative to subsystems and observersclaim0.702
  The author argues that while total system information is conserved (thermodynamic), computation gains information for the observer by making implicit information explicit and discarding irrelevant data.
