°°°°~x§x-<@> Abstract This article presents a comparative analysis of four prominent approaches to understanding biocognition from an enactive perspective: the Free Energy Principle/Predictive Processing (FEP/PP) model, neurophenomenology, micro-phenomenology, and scybernethics. Each framework offers unique insights into the nature of cognition, consciousness, and the relationship between subjective experience and objective measurement. By examining their methodologies, theoretical …

Exploring Scyberspace: A New Framework for Cognition, Mathematics, and Ethics
°°°°~x§x-<@> Introduction In this article, we explore the concept of scyberspace, a novel representational framework that integrates first-person and third-person epistemologies to study cognition, meaning-making, and recursive dynamics. Drawing inspiration from diverse fields such as geometry, topology, enactivism, and computational paradigms, scyberspace offers a powerful tool for bridging classical and modern approaches to understanding cognition. …

How Technology Shape Meaning: Embodied Cognition and Technological Mediation
°°°°~x§x-<@> Introduction In an age dominated by artificial intelligence, technological mediation, and complex systems, Christophe Rigon’s Scybernethics emerges as a groundbreaking framework that redefines how we understand cognition, memory, and the self. Rooted in second-order cybernetics and the enactive paradigm, Scybernethics offers a participatory, processual approach to knowledge-making, bridging phenomenology, technological hermeneutics, and experimental epistemology. …

Scybernethics: Bridging First and Third-Person Perspectives in Cognitive Science
°°°°~x§x-<@> Lived experience is where we start from and where we all must link back to, like a guiding thread – Varela, 1999. A Dynamic, Iterative, and Self-reflexive Methodology The scybernethics framework offers a unique approach to addressing the epistemological challenges of integrating first-person phenomenological perspectives (1PP) with third-person Cartesian viewpoints (3PP). It does this …
