- The process by which an organism exchanges material and energy with its environment, extracting negative entropy.
- The process by which contemplative practice makes the structural prior visible and subject to modelling.
- The specific type of representation studied in the paper: function f: X→R^n assigning feature vectors to inputs
- A reinforcing interlock between different materials, mentioned alongside Deep Interlock in West Dean construction.
- Technique where text is nested hierarchically within another, using indentation and margins to create subordinate orders of detail within an overarching embrace.
- Key reframing: contextual constraints (both bottom-up and top-down) replace mechanistic causation in explaining action.
- The restriction imposed by the structural prior that every deployed QRF must distinguish agent from world.
