Guidelines / Recommandations

  • Substitute thinking in terms of "representations" with "constructions" and "implementations of functions"
  • Explore modeling mind as an autopoietic system
  • Develop a new way of thinking about mental objects, concepts, percepts, etc. and their relation to reality (Copernican Revolution)
  • Think about objects, concepts etc. in terms of an "Operational Level" which lies between the physical and the behavioral level
  • Model mental operations as "attentional patterns"
  • Organize attentional operations as a functional structure
  • Avoid expressing your claims as ontological truths; always try expressing them as experiential truths
