I thought a thread for things that might go on other threads, but those threads mighty get too unwieldy. Difficult to find something mentioned in a huge thread. Maybe something here will be deemed worthy of its own thread. Maybe not. But easier to find them later.

Biologist Michael Levin: A Farewell to Physicalism is an article about Ingressing Minds: Causal Patterns Beyond Genetics and Environment in Natural, Synthetic, and Hybrid Embodiments, by Michael Levin.
Michael Levin's stuff can be found here. Although this page says Ingressing, and many of his others, are available via open access from Center for Open Space, I couldn't find it there. But I found it here:
Ingressing Minds: Causal Patterns Beyond Genetics and Environment in Natural, Synthetic, and Hybrid Embodiments(I don't know why that link looks so strange.)
The article says that Ingressing "explicitly and vehemently rejects the materialist paradigm.". It takes about the mathematics underlying reality and Plato's Ideals, or Forms, or whatever they're called.
I have not read Ingressing. I just found it, and it's big. I suspect much of it will be beyond me, but it sounds pretty good.
