Sense-Making in the Wild: The Historical and Ecological Depth of Enactive Processes of Life and Cognition
Adaptive Behavior - Animals, Animats, Software Agents, Robots, Adaptive Systems (SAGE-ADAP), Volume 32, Issue 2Apr 2024, Pages 117–136https://doi.org/10.1177/10597123231190153The enactive approach characterizes life and cognition as sense-making. The standard description of sense-making entails the co-emergence of an agent’s self and a meaningful world, as well as the emergence of a normativity that guides the behaviour of ...

Perceiving and creating atmospheres: how ecological-enactive cognition can explain and inform architectural practice
Adaptive Behavior - Animals, Animats, Software Agents, Robots, Adaptive Systems (SAGE-ADAP), Volume 32, Issue 2Apr 2024, Pages 103–115https://doi.org/10.1177/10597123231179487The notion of atmosphere has taken prominence in contemporary architecture discourse, in which it is used mainly to denote the affective characteristic of inhabitable spaces. In this paper, we employ the ecological-enactive approach to cognition to ...

An enactivist account of the dynamics of lying
Adaptive Behavior - Animals, Animats, Software Agents, Robots, Adaptive Systems (SAGE-ADAP), Volume 32, Issue 1Feb 2024, Pages 3–16https://doi.org/10.1177/10597123231166421Enactivist accounts of communication have focused almost exclusively on honest, cooperative communication. However, much of human life involves deception and lies. Using the generally agreed upon definition of lying, we here develop an enactive account ...
