Well, this goes back to the branch Jochen started a long time ago regarding path dependence and the hard problem. The question I asked was how do we partition the state? Some goes inside the *body*, some goes outside the body. I'd argue they're both stigmergic. It's obvious why the state accumulating outside the body is. But the state inside the body is also collectively built by different (though perhaps not independent) processes within the body.
Some of the state is mutually negotiated across the boundary between the inside and outside of the body. And the dynamism of that boundary can't be ignored. I don't think that is stigmergic, though. My sense of these boundaries is that they're steadily maintained/overturned by the other processes. On 5/6/20 9:15 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Is this embodied mind? Or Stygmergy?
