ECSU updates (October 2026)

September at ECSU — Dr. Kazuma Takada, a JCSS paper award, psilocybin EEG paper out, and the 37% rule in Kyoto

Illustration of the 37% rule: candidates arrive one by one; reject the first 37% while noting the best, then pick the first one better than that.
The 37% rule: when should you stop looking and commit? From Tom's poster at IEEE ICDL 2026 in Kyoto.

External work building on ours

Kelso on the motionable mind. J. A. Scott Kelso’s open-access EPJST paper The motionable mind (DOI 10.1140/epjs/s11734-025-01875-7) engages coordination dynamics and mind–matter coupling, citing Irruption work from the unit (OA PDF).

Levin on ingressing minds. Michael Levin’s open-access paper in Philosophies — Ingressing Minds: Causal, Non-Physical Patterns In-Form Natural, Synthetic, and Hybrid Embodiments (DOI 10.3390/philosophies11050161) — lists Irruption Theory among peer non-physicalist models of mind, thanks Tom in the acknowledgments, and cites Egbert et al. 2023 (Froese coauthor).
