flattening (mono-dimensionality) BOTH the environment (objectivist 3PP polarity)/Umwelt (subjectivist 1PP) AND the action/sensation-perception, which are key co-determining distinctions for meaning-making & intelligibility in a complex world.

The actual convergence between naive (non-phenomenological) realism & transjective (confusion object/subject) technologies is, in its excess, a collective poison leading socially to a loss of embodied know-how (proletarianization, cognitive today with digital psycho-techs)

[ What is Science: 1. Origin: Collectively Enacting a First-order Perspective ]
Here's an initial objectivist first-order* description of the nature & constitution of modern scientific inquiry from an enactive point of view:
* 3P-only description without the observer-actor

It could be complemented, to have a better grasping about the form/process complex dialectics, with the famous Varela"s paper "Not one, not two": the "it" (form) and the process leading to "it".
A new discussion on the subject (not seen yet):

I will follow this initial intro with a more scybernethic and second-order style of representation that will help to give more meaning, I hope, to second-order logic², to the importance of the initial suspension of judgment and more generally to second-order rationality².

[ Logic²: from Morin's Complex Thinking to Ancient Catuṣkoṭi Logic ] 🧵🪡
I'm happy because yesterday I have finally academically sourced (G. Priest) my second order logic, or exploration heuristic and hermeneutic logic, the other complementary,
implicit and hidden face of classical normative and propositional logic (Aristotle, Russell, Frege, etc).
Both define what I call a bidimenTional formal space: one linear classical Cartesian representational dimension coupled orthogonally with a recursive self-referencial imaginary/complex (math. sense), "fractal" one.
[ "Metaphysics": Formal Worldview vs Processual Method ] 🧵
I don't like the old term "metaphysics" because of its lack of analytical discrimination: do we speak politely about the subjective preconceptions of a view (so critically about its hidden & implicit political agenda),
or about its transcendental (Kant) a priori conditions of possibility?
Moreover, even if physics has historical precedence as a prototype of the objective study of the world-out-there, i.e. of a materialist so-called "realist" formal view,
science is today much broader, even if restricted to the sciences of nature (not so "natural"...), and physics much more fluffy.
Both shares the same influences (enaction) and objectives: to exceed the mind-mind problem (extension of the traditional mind-body problem, Jackendoff), i.e. relating computational & phenomenological aspects of the mind.
While neurophenomenology is polarized on the traditional first order of science, coupling the rational dimension with experimental empiricism, scybernethics is more philosophically polarized and aimed at the active transformation of the observer-actor himself.
In short, neurophenomenology is more normative while scybernethics is more heuristic and hermeneutical. Two faces of enactive science.
People should stop blaming or adulating robotic machines and understand that they are just an objectified mirror of *our own automatism and conventions*.
It is important to see that this reflection can be used in a cognitive reverse engineering perspective (cognitive hacking) to better understand our own habitual and therefore uncontested *unconscious* habits of the body (concrete mechanics) and mind (abstract computations).
This is why it is essential to understand in depth, in a practical (know-how) and historical (evolutionary epistemology) way, what it means to "code" and design "functions".
