  • Perceptual shift as paradigm shift

    Perceptual shift as paradigm shift In order to think about active inference at the level of the mortal substrate or good biomimesis, it helps if we can talk plainly. We can think of active inference as a cognitive function as something that perhaps Sherlock Holmes might be good at, but insight rather than deduction. Let’s…

  • Biomechanical Enlightenment and Physical Homeostasis

    Biomechanical Enlightenment and Physical Homeostasis Why is the motoric anatomy of the proprioceptive system so important? Physical homeostasis produces a corresponding neural metastability in the brain, beginning with cerebellar function, that shifts the oscillations of the brain to a much higher level of integration and coordination. We can call this biomechanical enlightenment. A transient form…

  • If you are serious about our situation…

    If you are serious about our situation, you must consider the need for and possibility of a perceptual paradigm shift. We have many ways to discuss this scientifically and rationally: hemispheric neglect syndrome, dysmetria of thought, dysconnection hypothesis, evolutionary mismatch, kinesthetic dystonia, postural collapse syndrome, exteroceptive bias… We are all seeing things a little off…
