°°°°~x§x-<@> Abstract This short article synthesizes a philosophical and scientific dialogue bridging phenomenology, ecological psychology, enactive cognitive science, and formal neural modeling with key conceptual articulations. We examine how Merleau-Ponty’s concept of motor intentionality—the pre-reflective, embodied orientation of the subject toward the world—reconfigures the movement/consciousness relation, aligns with Gibson’s affordance theory, and finds computational resonance …

The Art of “Com-putation”: Intuition, Balance, and Second-Order Logic

soto² — Wed, 12 Feb 2025 10:43:51 +0000

°°°°~x§x-<@> Introduction In our fast-paced world, we’re constantly bombarded with information and decisions. How do we make sense of it all? In scybernethics, we explore this question by diving deep into the heart of what we call “com-putation,” a process that goes far beyond mere calculation. It’s an embodied, intuitive approach to meaning-making that involves …
