Slightly out of order, but close to right

But on the left, not close to left, which is fine by me.

The correct order is you, Dan, Andy...you need both your book and Dan’s book to see clearly where Andy goes wrong

Any chance you could spell this out? I have read Evan's book, and a good portion of Andy's, as well as other books of Dan. I like the general embodied/enactive picture but Andy loses me with what feels like an over-reliance on the computer metaphor.

I don’t think that computation should ever be seen as a metaphor! But we share a worry about Andy’s willingness to collapse everything into a single algorithm (working on three ways of saying that in different places; I promise to share when any of them are done) 1/

What Dan gets is the way that culture shapes affordances, in ways that pull away from the reliance on a hierarchical model of the sort that Andy presupposes

What Evan gets right is the role of self-regulation and embodiment. My views are constantly getting closer to Evan’s, though I don’t share his worries about computation (I understand them, and he may be right). But I agree that we need a much more biological view of minds! 3/3

Depends for me a lot on what exactly "computation" means

Yes! And I think we need something much closer to Turing than to Newell and Simon. My guess is that by the time I get this new stuff written, you and I end up very close to one another—though with interesting (and I hope productive) points of disagreement!

It would be boring if we agreed, though in this case, convergence would undoubtedly be a sign of truth

Koji and I have been talking about the effects of how one thinks about logic...I think there are significant ramifications for computational theory, and ones that help push toward a more biological and embodied theory of computation...but I don’t quite have this worked out yet

Looking forward to read how it all comes together for you and looking forward to read/hear Evan's take on it. Fun times!
