I don't think so. The inherent part of Rosen's idea (after having NOT thought about it for years) is the ambiguity that falls out of the modeling relation. (If it's a faithful model, then it all boils down to ambiguity - multiple meanings. If it's a noisy or unfaithful model, then not merely ambiguity but also error.) I don't think Rosen's conception disagrees in any meaningful sense from prediction coding, the idea that the organism *is-a* surprise minimizer. Even if you expand the world into possible worlds instead of The World, surprise minimization might still obtain.
I'm not smart enough to actually read this. But Restall has a new installment along this front: modal logic and contingent existence https://consequently.org/papers/mlce-ge2.pdf This relates (I think in my ignorance) to Rosen's fetish with "relational biology". You don't really need to know what space/world the logic navigates. What you need is how one sentence relates to the the other sentences ("inferentialism"). On 1/20/25 11:05 AM, steve smith wrote:
I do think that model-free governance is a desirable basin of attraction (oops, I'm meta-modeling governance as a dynamical system?) and I think it starts with model-free modeling? Does this deny the "Anticipatory" in Rosen's Anticipatory Systems?
