Episode notes
Relevance and Autopoiesis
- Relevance is not intrinsic to an object but exists in relation to an autopoetic thing.
- Only self-organizing entities with needs can find something relevant.
Relevance Realization
- Relevance realization is neither mere detection nor projection.
- Vervaeke criticizes both empiricist and romantic views on relevance.

- The environment's complexity and dynamism create diverse niches, precluding a single design for fitness.
