- Load-bearing claim that bioelectric coordination underlies both anatomical collective behavior and neural cognition.
- Identifies bioelectric networks as the medium of basal cognition.
- Canonical definition of the paper's central concept; encapsulates mechanism of cognitive scaling through bioelectric integration.
- Central metaphor of the paper.
- Foundational for understanding how physiology becomes meaning; decoupling of material state from information content is prerequisite for emergence of cognitive Self.
- Prior empirical observation from biological systems; motivates investigation in artificial agents.
