I have not seen that youtube video. I have worked with visionary plant teachers and explored consciousness that way, and so the idea of a different kind of cognition outside of a nervous system is not foreign to me.
I got the SharedEarth from this podcast episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/permaculture-for-the-f...
The host interviewed someone who got 100% of his food from forage or grown, for 1 year. He did not own land, and made deals with landowners to start gardens in their front yard. He was the one that mentioned this side. I had just heard about it a couple days ago as I was making my way through listening to the back episodes of that podcast.
Maybe this is another avenue to contribute— contact the operator and see if they need help adding features.
My email is talktohosh at gmail if you want to continue this conversation off of HN.
Have you seen "What Bodies Think About: Bioelectric Computation Outside the Nervous System"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjD1aLm4Thg https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18736698
BTW, I joined SharedEarth and messaged some people but haven't heard back from anyone yet. Do you know much about it? It kind of seems like a demo (from a technical POV.) And there's no "contact us" page for it.
