Living systems must preserve organization while their components relax, diffuse, or fluctuate. Most origin-of-life accounts place this problem in space, emphasizing membranes and compartments, but persistence also has a temporal dimension. ...
Symbiotic Alignment via Collective Predictive Coding: A Theoretical Framework for Co-Creative Human-AI Ecosystems [0.03%]
