Michael Levin publishes peer-reviewed Platonic Space paper, his most controversial yet
drmichaellevin · x · 2026-09-11
Developmental biologist Michael Levin announced the official peer-reviewed version of his "Platonic Space" paper — which he says generated more pushback than any other position he's taken in decades, including debates over left-right asymmetry, bioelectricity, and diverse intelligence.
He also compiled an entry point to his work:
- Lab website with all preprints, papers, software, talks, and interviews
- Center YouTube channel with his talks plus invited speakers
- Two new outlets: one for lighter AI-relevant content, one for more personal public-level musings
A useful resource map for anyone following Levin's work on unconventional intelligence and morphological computing.
