The Sensation Modulating Network:Haltability as the architectural ground for object-directed phenomenology
This arXiv paper proposes the Sensation Modulating Network (SMN), a theoretical cognitive architecture that attempts to bridge the long-standing divide between cognitivism and embodied cognition approaches. The framework grounds meaning-making in the body's opponent dynamics and hierarchical action patterns, offering a novel perspective on how agents achieve intentional directedness without requiring additional computational modules.
