Glen, Thanks for the reorientation! If you want to discuss complexity, I think an interesting question regarding perception-action systems is how much of the complexity has to be inside the organism, and how much of it can be encapsulated in the larger organism-environment system. The more the comp

Alright some more sensible responses, hopefully hitting all the prior comments: 1) Mark, Marrion, & Hoffman, like almost all biologists interested in perception, conflate two types of question. The first, is whether there is sufficient structured energy (for lack of a better term) that reaches

Late to the party, but still lots to chew on! It is unfortunate that everyone wants to throw the simulation/representation/modeling wrench into the middle of what might otherwise be a very sensible story about about dynamic systems. (And if you like the dynamic systems side of things, Tony Chemero

The way you worded this confuses me. Did you mean "truth is a correspondence between"? Or did you mean something like "truth can be corresponded with"? I typically use the word "truth" to mean the outside, alone, not a map between the outside and inside. The map between them would be the gr
