Minds are messy. Maybe we can map useful abstractions in aid of their navigation? @nico_hinrichs's current reading stack spans the mess from lived experience to neural stimulation.

What can embodied cognitive science tell us about personal change? I sat down with @Mark_M_James to reflect on links between the wayshaping framework and irruption theory. Can they tell us how to scaffold across the intention-action gap? youtu.be/OJMIKztpvdM?si… via @YouTube

Mechanisms over Metaphors. Also reminds me of what @EricConk32 was bringing attention to. Neuroscience leads the way. ✨

I'm thrilled to report that our past postdoc Andrés G. Mejía Ramón is on a roll! 🥳 While working in ECSU at @OISTedu, he developed packages to enable archaeologists to better measure social inequality and to do so across scales: pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…

Does a hive of bees constitute a unified agent in its own right? 🐝+🐝+... =🐝? 🤔 Using a 2D cellular automata model of bee movement dynamics, recent PhD graduate Dr @Ivan_Shpurov revealed time series signatures that support this collective integration. arxiv.org/abs/2507.11592
