Octopuses possess 500 million neurons distributed across their bodies—two-thirds in their arms rather than their brain—creating a radically decentralized intelligence that challenges everything we thought we knew about how minds work. These eight-armed aliens demonstrate tool use, problem-solving, and observational learning comparable to mammals, yet achieve it through a nervous system architecture completely unlike vertebrates. Their distributed cognition is now inspiring revolutionary advan...
