dc.description.abstractRadical enactivism (REC) and similar embodied and enactive approaches to the mind deny that cognition is fundamentally representational, skull-bound and mechanistic in its organisation.

This argument is scaffolded by a multi-agent model of the true slime mould Physarum polycephalum.en_AU
