  1. Attractors formed under the control of a shared constraint regime induced by analogous enabling constraints also illustrate that properties of coordination dynamics and their regulatory constraints carve out reality at different joints from those of folk psychology. Neither our ordinary intuitions nor our classical views of types and kinds would have gathered humans and artificial neural networks under one class. But neither would our ordinary intuitions have classified humans and tornadoes as alike (as dissipative structures).

  6. Requiring that all real events and processes refer to universal laws that support prediction under all conditions rules out, from the outset, any effective role for context dependence. That is the framework of modern science and philosophy. [...]
    It is a framework that works spectacularly well in many cases, such as with predicting the motion of two planetary bodies, for example. But there are cases, such as whirlpools and coupled pendulums, not to mention ecology, psychology, and other special sciences such as economics where it does not. In those fields, context changes everything.

    I agree about the chess move. Chess is complex with a large but finite number of possibilities. What I referred to without being explicit is that when a human plays chess he uses his memory, not only about distinct moves or postitions, but also about the feel of a position, emotions about what is at stake, or about his oponent etc. And the later (emotions etc) are also context dependent.

  16. Different neural patterns can realize the same thought; the same neural pattern can subtend different emotions—depending on context. As noted earlier, persistence is grounded in the lack of one-to-one correspondence between changes in lower-level events and particular functions or properties. Plasticity, degeneracy, and pluripotency are typical of the relations between types and tokens.

  36. Examples from oncology are illustrative. Normal cells that start to replicate too fast soon die without nourishment. However, malfunctioning governing constraints on normal blood vessel formation and maintenance might result in the runaway cell becoming vascularized. When this happens, the cell’s self-assertive traits can slip the control of its embedding organ. Cancer ensues. Stopping vascularization to such tumors has been shown to resolve the problem as definitively as radiation intervention (an energetic intervention that kills those cells outright). The manner of resolution of the two is different, however. Radiation therapy destroys cells with intense energy, a mechanical force intervention. Cutting off blood supply to the cells, on the other hand, does so by removing an enabling constraint.
