These are old as hell, but hey this isn't a news site.
The way things are organized is a science in itself, and it's called network science. Granted, the way biological organisms are organized is called biology, and the way human minds are organized is called psychology, and etc. But the way anything is organized, regardless of what it is, that's network science, and it's kind of like the ur-science. It's still not recognized as such, but we're getting there. Unfortunately, I think the robots are going to figure it out before us, because our brains are too simple to handle this. Can your brain navigate n-dimensional space? Not yet you say, but that's the robot, already putting words in your mouth.
AI system self-organizes to develop features of brains of complex organisms

Yes it does.
They created an artificial system to model a simplified version of the brain and applied physical constraints where each node was given a specific location in a virtual space, so the further away two nodes were, the more difficult it was for them to communicate; they found their system went on to develop characteristics and tactics similar to those found in human brains.

A new mathematical language for biological networks
Dec 2023, phys.org
This is about mathematical modeling of genetic interactions in biological systems, way over my head, but higher order dimensions and network science in general are making progress.
