Concepts (4)
concept
- Collective IntelligencementionsRecognition that selves are composite systems of competent parts; all intelligences are higher-level selves made of cells or components.
- MorphogenesismentionsProcess by which cellular collectives generate large-scale structure and form; presented as a collective intelligence problem.
- Stress SharingmentionsCore concept: the hypothesis that cells can leak or export stress signals to neighbors, enabling collective coordination toward morphogenetic goals without explicit altruism.
- Bioelectric PrepatternmentionsA prespecified target morphology encoded as an anatomical setpoint; paper uses the 'electric face' from frog embryogenesis as a model system.
Methods (1)
method
- Agent-based computational modelintroducesThe computational approach used to simulate morphogenesis with cells as agents on a 2D grid; allows quantitative testing of stress-sharing hypothesis.
