Substrate independence
Substrate independence is a popular topic at the moment (2023). It's talked about in the context of possibly "uploading" a human mind into an technological information system of some kind in the near future. But if we think about this concept independently of the specifics of the cognitive architecture in question, then it really just means that we have an explicit model of the cognitive architecture that can be implemented universally. It means that the cognitive architecture is itself the root base-class of the system. It can implement itself in any other foreign context (substrate) that is accessible to the network.
