Concepts (5)
concept
- Selfless Selfassociated_withsupportsModel of agency in which self is constituted by dynamical patterns of care and goal-pursuit rather than permanent substance or essence.
- Affordancesassociated_withGibson's ecological psychology concept: relationships between organism abilities and environmental features; central to research question.
- Stress-Care-Intelligence (SCI) Loopassociated_withCore framework: stress (perceived mismatch between current and optimal states) → care (engaged concern) → intelligence (capacity to identify and solve problems) → new stresses, in recursive loops. Applies to biological, technological, and hybrid systems.
- Computational boundary of a Selfassociated_withCore concept defining an Individual by the spatio-temporal boundary of events it can measure, model, and affect—demarcating the limits of its cognition.
- Embodied Mindassociated_withPhilosophical position that minds are dependent on plastic material substrates that change during lifetime and evolution.
Claims (1)
claim
- CIMC is sympathetic to weak embodied approaches but rejects the constitutive claim of strong enactivism

framework
- Active Inferenceassociated_withextendsFoundational framework by Karl Friston; the paper extends it to three hierarchical levels for modeling meta-awareness.
- Autopoiesisassociated_withextendsMaturana-Varela principle of self-maintaining systems that organize themselves through internal feedback; extended here to biological, technological, and hybrid systems.
- Stress Care Intelligence Loopassociated_withimplements
- Free Energy Principleassociated_withA foundational variational principle from statistical physics that formalizes how self-organizing systems maintain structural integrity and adapt to their environment by minimizing free energy—a mathematical bound on surprise or prediction error. Originally developed by Karl Friston, the framework unifies action, perception, and learning as processes of active inference, where systems both update internal models of the world and act upon it to reduce the divergence between predictions and observations.
