New ABC Framework Challenges Representation-Based Mind Models in Translation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new academic paper proposes the ABC framework as an alternative to traditional representation-based models of the mind, particularly in the context of translation. This framework views translation not as the manipulation of static correspondences, but as an enacted activity that dynamically integrates affective-evaluative, behavioral-enacting, and cognitive-inferential processes. The authors argue that the translating mind is a dynamically organized process where meaning is co-created in real-time through embodied interaction with texts, tools, and contexts, reframing translation as skillful participation in sociocultural practice.

IMPACT Proposes a new theoretical lens for understanding cognitive processes, potentially influencing future AI research in natural language understanding and generation.

    From Representation to Enactment: The ABC Framework of the Translating Mind

    arXiv:2511.16811v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Building on the third-wave Extended Mind (EM) theory and radical enactivism, this article suggests an alternative to representation-based models of the mind. We build on the ABC framework in which translation is not understood a…
