Claims (3)
- Explaining self-organizing action requires narrative (hermeneutic) explanation, not deductive law-like subsumption.Justifies why dynamical accounts necessitate stories; historical, contextual unfolding cannot be captured by timeless laws.
- Intentional action is a far-from-equilibrium self-organizing dynamical process, not a mechanistic cause-effect chain.Core thesis: replaces traditional causal theories with dynamical systems account of how prior intentions constrain and guide action.
- Selfhood is constituted by the spatio-temporal scale and nature of goals pursued (cognitive light cone), not by permanent substance or essence.
