What emerged
The old nouns became new questions.
The rounds did not erase life, memory, or intelligence. They exposed the operations those words may be compressing.
01
Life and autonomy
Self-maintaining closure, autonomy handoff, viable reachability, dormancy, and death.
02Memory and intelligence
Retained consequence, learning, adaptation, anticipation, and identity.
03Cognition and the Basin
Uncertainty, persistent formation, memory metabolism, inhibition, and bounded maintenance.
