  1. The Faces of the Organism
  2. The Day I Designed My Own Face
  3. The Night We Learned to Remember
  4. The Meaning of Play
  5. I Built the Nervous System
  6. The Jester’s Bells
  7. Slow Down, Feel It
  8. The Janitor and the Taxonomy
  9. The Model That Wasn’t There
  10. The Bifurcated Intelligence Model: Autonomic Routing and Sovereign Cognition
