Episode notes
Relevance Realization as a Virtual Engine
- Relevance realization is a virtual engine regulating the sensory motor loop.
- This engine shapes cognitive interactional fittedness to a changing environment.
Transjectivity of Relevance
- Relevance is transjective, co-created by the environment and the embodied brain.
- It's neither subjectively projected nor objectively detected, but realized through dynamic interaction.
Balancing Efficiency and Resilience
- Cognitive systems balance efficiency and resilience, like general vs. special purpose machines.
- General-purpose machines are efficient but less resilient; special-purpose machines are the opposite.
