Biomolecular basis of cellular consciousness via subcellular nanobrains
Cells emerged at the very beginning of life on Earth and, in fact, are coterminous with life.
They are enclosed within an excitable plasma membrane, which defines the outside and …

The computational boundary of a “self”: developmental bioelectricity drives multicellularity and scale-free cognition
M Levin - Frontiers in psychology, 2019 - frontiersin.org
All epistemic agents physically consist of parts that must somehow comprise an integrated
cognitive self. Biological individuals consist of subunits (organs, cells, and molecular …

Intelligence as a planetary scale process
Conventionally, intelligence is seen as a property of individuals. However, it is also known to
be a property of collectives. Here, we broaden the idea of intelligence as a collective …

Information flows? A critique of transfer entropies
A central task in analyzing complex dynamics is to determine the loci of information storage
and the communication topology of information flows within a system. Over the last decade …

Criticality distinguishes the ensemble of biological regulatory networks
The hypothesis that many living systems should exhibit near-critical behavior is well
motivated theoretically, and an increasing number of cases have been demonstrated …
