When did Humberto Maturana give up the representational hypothesis that he helped to found? And is there some place where he explains his reason for jumping ship?

I think he’s still using a feature-detection based model through the mid-late 60s on the pigeon papers. But I don’t know his work that well after that

In the early 60s, after he return to Chile from MIT. See p. xii of his intro to Autopoiesis and Cognition

He dropped the feature detection model when he started to work on colour vision in pigeons, in the 1960s, and when he realized the question about the organization of the living and the question about the biology of cognition were intertwined

For Varela's account of his involvement in all this, see this article https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/%28SICI%291099-1735%28199609%2913%3A3 …<407%3A%3AAID-SRES100>http://3.0.CO %3B2-1

Also, although "What the frog's eye tells the frog's brain" is the more well-known paper, Varela told me this one was the more fundamental/important one (from the period of his work with Lettvin)https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/13768335

This stuff is very close to Hebb, by the way, which I read pretty recently as well! (In reading it, it became clear to me that most people don’t read Hebb)
