Frameworks (2)

framework
  • An interdisciplinary research framework that reconceptualizes intelligence as observer-relative problem-solving competencies existing on a continuum from simple to highly complex, extending cognition beyond neural systems to pre-neural and non-neural substrates including microbial control loops, plants, tissues, and cellular collectives. It grounds the study of evolutionary and developmental origins of cognitive and behavioral capacities by linking information processing at the chemical and cellular level to classical cognition, and provides philosophical foundations for understanding agency and goal-directedness in systems without nervous systems.
  • Central concept proposed as a robust, practical invariant linking intelligence, stress-reduction, and moral obligation across biology, AI, and Buddhist thought.

Concepts (1)

concept
  • Concept defining self by the spatiotemporal scale and nature of goals a system can pursue; limits of concern demarcate identity.
