Findings and contributions
- Tison explains that the paper aimed to give ecological and enactive approaches a view of communication that does not rely on content or representation, unlike the transmission view.
- Tison states that content exists but is not at the basic level of cognition; it must be explained by a theory of communication rather than presupposed.
- Tison reflects that defining a shared field of affordances as the subset common to two individual fields neglects the autonomy of the interaction dynamics.
- Tison describes cooperative communication as a way for a group to achieve an optimal grip on the context of their joint action.
- Tison says the paper ties the conventional nature of language to conventional affordances generated in communicative interaction.
Methods
- Transcribed ActInf Livestream #048 series (48.0, 48.1, 48.2) — Transcript of Active Inference Institute livestream discussions of the 2021 paper 'Communication as Socially Extended Active Inference', held September 2, 7 and 14, 2022.
- 48.0 introductory walkthrough of aims, claims, abstract and roadmap — In 48.0 Daniel Friedman and Dean Tickles present the paper's aims, claims, abstract and roadmap as an introduction rather than a full review.
- Author-participation panel discussions with first author Rémi Tison — In 48.1 and 48.2 the first author joins Friedman, Tickles and Bleu Knight to answer questions on content, context, shared affordances, and language.
