Michael Levin publishes peer-reviewed Platonic Space paper, his most contested work yet
AnnaCiaunica · x · 2026-09-11
- Michael Levin announced the official, revised, peer-reviewed version of his Platonic Space paper.
- He calls it by far his most pushback-generating position in decades — beyond controversies on left-right asymmetry, bioelectricity, genetics, and diverse intelligence — including pleas to drop the topic and attacks affecting unrelated paper reviews.
- A reviewer thread plans to cover it alongside Erik Hoel's Causal emergence 2.0 and Manlio De Domenico's work on living-system architecture.
