[ Working with Conceptual Dipoles ]
An essential methodological tool in the scybernethics framework. I have discovered later that people like, of course Hegel, but also Derrida identified them as important prototypes.

[ LLMs & Scybernethics ]
It is interesting, and not surprising, to see that LLMs fail to grasp the deeper scybernethics concepts.
The reason is simple: their logic is purely *cognitivist/linguistic* and they have no homeostatic embodied rationality to produce meaning (cf. 👉) .
They are mechanistic *A-Doxa*: superficially useful but not "deep" at all to decrypt *complex thinking*.

Pleased to share my latest research "Zero-shot counting with a dual-stream neural network model" about a glimpsing neural network model that learns visual structure (here, number) in a way that generalises to new visual contents. The model replicates several neural and behavioural hallmarks of numerical cognition.

Deep neural networks have provided a computational framework for understanding object recognition, grounded in the neurophysiology of the primate ventral stream, but fail to account for how we process relational aspects of a scene. For example, deep neural networks fail at problems that involve enumerating the number of elements in an array, a problem that in humans relies on parietal cortex. Here, we build a 'dual-stream' neural network model which, equipped with both dorsal and ventral streams, can generalise its counting ability to wholly novel items ('zero-shot' counting). In doing so, it forms spatial response fields and lognormal number codes that resemble those observed in macaque posterior parietal cortex. We use the dual-stream network to make successful predictions about behavioural studies of the human gaze during similar counting tasks.
Proprioception in Action: A Matter of Ecological and Social Interaction
González-Grandón et al., 2021
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.569403/full#h3
The aim of this paper is to provide a theoretical and formal framework to understand how the proprioceptive and kinesthetic system learns about body position and possibilities for movement in ongoing action and interaction. Whereas most weak embodiment accounts of proprioception focus on positionalist descriptions or on its role as a source of parameters for internal motor control, we argue that these aspects are insufficient to understand how proprioception is integrated into an active organized system in continuous and dynamic interaction with the environment. Our strong embodiment thesis is that one of the main theoretical principles to understand proprioception, as a perceptual experience within concrete situations, is the coupling with kinesthesia and its relational constitution—self, ecological, and social. In our view, these aspects are underdeveloped in current accounts, and an enactive sensorimotor theory enriched with phenomenological descriptions may provide an alternative path toward explaining this skilled experience. Following O'Regan and Noë (2001) sensorimotor contingencies conceptualization, we introduce three distinct notions of proprioceptive kinesthetic-sensorimotor contingencies (PK-SMCs), which we describe conceptually and formally considering three varieties of perceptual experience in action: PK-SMCs-self, PK-SMCs-self-environment, and PK-SMC-self-other. As a proof of concept of our proposal, we developed a minimal PK model to discuss these elements...
