--- abstract: |- Interactivism is a vast and rather ambitious philosophical and theoretical system originally developed by Mark Bickhard, which covers plethora of aspects related to mind and person. Within interactivism, an agent is regarded as an action system: an autonomous, self-organizing, self-maintaining entity, which can exercise actions and sense their effects in the environment it inhabits. In this paper, we will argue that it is especially suited for treatment of the problem of representation in epigenetic agents. More precisely, we will elaborate on process-based ontology for representations, and will sketch a way of discussing about architectures for epigenetic agents in a general manner. altloc: - http://www.lucs.lu.se/ftp/pub/LUCS_Studies/LUCS101/Stojanov.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: 'August 4-5, 2003' conference: 'Third International Workshop on Epigenetic Robotics: Modeling Cognitive Development in Robotic Systems' confloc: 'Boston, MA, USA' contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Stojanov given: Georgi honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Kulakov given: Andrea honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2003 date_type: published datestamp: 2004-02-12 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/33/39 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Prince given: Christopher G. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Berthouze given: Luc honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Kozima given: Hideki honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Bullock given: Daniel honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Stojanov given: Georgi honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Balkenius given: Christian honourific: '' lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 3339 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/3339/1/Stojanov.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'interactivism, autonomous agent, epigenetic agent, process-based ontology' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:25 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 123-130 pubdom: TRUE publication: ~ publisher: Lund University Cognitive Studies refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:50:12 subjects: - comp-sci-art-intel - comp-sci-robot succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: Interactivist approach to representation in epigenetic agents type: confpaper userid: 3507 volume: 101
