Michael Levin has published a paper in MDPI arguing that minds are non-physical patterns that "ingress" into physical embodiments, with bodies and machines serving as interfaces. He frames the mind-body relationship as analogous to math and physics, citing xenobots, anthrobots, and perturbed sorting algorithms as evidence that systems exhibit behaviors beyond their underlying algorithms. Levin proposes this framework could inform AI alignment and philosophy questions.
