Autonomy and Enactivism: Towards a Theory of Sensorimotor Autonomous Agency (2017, background): “Mechanistic explanations, in biological and cognitive sciences, are inescapably framed within the organizational context of the whole organism and within its autonomy (Bechtel 2007a, b; Levy and Bechtel 2013; Moreno et al. 2011).”
Biological regulation: controlling the system from within (2015, unknown): “…independent of the dynamics of the controlled processes, and which can be varied without disrupting these processes, but it is still able to be linked to parts of the mechanism controlled system [the regulated subsystem] so as to be able to modulate their operations» (Bechtel 2007: p 290).”
