An enactive-developmental systems framing of cognizing systems

Organisms live not as discrete entities on which an independent environment acts, but members of a reproductive lineage in ongoing series interactions between that and dynamic ecological niche. These continuously shape both systems reciprocal manner, resulting the emergence reliably co-occurring configurations within systems. The enactive approach to cognition describes this relationship structural coupling organism its environment; similarly, Developmental Systems Theory emphasizes nature structurally coupled analysis organisms developmental processes embedded system. Through enactive-developmental framing, paper identifies organizational features cognizing order motivate picture how co-determine co-construct one another.
