Exploration of the Functional Properties of Interaction: Computer Models and Pointers for Theory
<22> Published as the main article in an online journal: the journal issue itself contains five responses to the article from leading figures in the field including Peter Cariani from Harvard/MIT, Jiri Wiederman from the Czech Academy of Sciences, and two researchers from the University of Lyon. The paper proposes a new foundation for an understanding of minds and knowledge acquisition, based on interaction rather than cognition. To assess the theory, the paper describes computational models inspired by swarm intelligence, which are used as a metaphor to explore the practical implications of this view.
