- Claim supported by Goodwin's work, shifting emphasis away from DNA as sole morphogenetic driver toward form-generating principles inherent in spatial configuration.
- Frames developmental biology as an instance of basal cognition.
- Levin's main interpretive reframing: rejects purely emergentist/mechanistic views of development in favor of treating morphogenesis as cybernetic, goal-directed problem-solving by cellular swarms.
- Process by which cellular collectives generate large-scale structure and form; presented as a collective intelligence problem.
- Morphogenesis is of the essence in achieving beauty, adaptive resources, and internal organization.claim0.843States that only morphogenesis can deliver the full set of qualities needed in the built environment.
- Reframes developmental biology as collective cognition.
