Researchers have proposed a new cognitive architecture called the Sensation Modulating Network (SMN) to bridge the gap between cognitivism and 4E approaches in cognitive science. The SMN posits that the entire body functions as a cognitive agent, organized by opponent dynamics and built from Sensation Modulators. Key to this model is 'haltability,' where antagonistic affordances co-activate to enable attention and intentional directedness, and dual-signal action patterns that structurally distinguish self from world. This framework aims to reconcile recursion within embodied cognition by locating generative capabilities within architectural transitions across a four-level action-pattern hierarchy. AI
