Biology
Life as coherence maintenance: from cellular cognition to organoid intelligence.

Life is coherence maintenance at every scale. From single cells coordinating their bioelectric conversations to nervous systems regulating the entire organism, biology reveals the deep principles of meaning-making through material organization.

These series explore how biological systems maintain identity, process information, and create the conditions for experience—long before anything like a brain enters the picture.

Series in Biology

Basal Cognition
Michael Levin's revolution: bioelectric fields as coherence manifolds. How cells think before neurons exist.
Organoid Intelligence
Brains in dishes learning to play Pong. Why biological substrate might outcompute silicon by orders of magnitude.
Polyvagal & Embodiment
Your nervous system runs ancient code. Three autonomic layers shape stress, connection, trauma, and healing.
