身体物理特性决定意识对象指向性,提出具身认知新架构

The Sensation Modulating Network:Haltability as the architectural ground for object-directed phenomenology

  • 以对抗动态组织全身,用感觉调节器构建认知基础
  • 停滞性是对象化意识的必要条件,物体是多重属性的集合
  • 适合研究具身智能、意识起源及神经科学中身体整合问题

本文提出感觉调节网络(SMN):将认知主体视为由对抗动态组织的全身,由感知与行动一体的组织体构成,通过全局广播路由协调动作区域。该模型涵盖重力、弹性、拓扑与几何等身体物理因素对认知的建构作用。聚焦于身体基础层面构建自我模型、以自我为参照的世界模型及对象指向性,均源于身体物理机制而非预设前提。架构具有生成性,一组基础模块(链状、片状、管状、层状、附肢状)通过形态变异实现经验构造,自模态在不同体型与尺度间保持不变。核心论点:主动维持对抗平衡(停滞性)是对象化现象学的结构条件;第二原则指出,物体是多属性集合,从感知阻力延伸至真实对象。配套实验平台实现可运行、可验证的模拟,包含预注册序参量与对照组。将感官运动具身主义、主动推理、生态与可供性理论作为更广阔框架中的特例,明确区分标准,并定位神经系统:作为使身体统一的整合核心,而非主宰者。此观点认为,传统认知主义与4E认知的僵局源于对具身代理架构的不完整理解,其解决需从大脑扩展至整个身体。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We propose the Sensation Modulating Network (SMN): the cognitive agent as the whole body, organized at every scale by opponent dynamics, built from Sensation Modulators -- tissue that senses and acts through one substrate -- paired into Coordinated Action Zones routed by a body-wide broadcast. It is an inclusive model of the body, in which gravity, elasticity, and the body's topology and geometry do constructive cognitive work. The paper is scoped to what such a body constructs at its foundation -- a self-model, a world-model in that self's frame, and object-directedness -- each built by the body's physics, not assumed as a primitive. The architecture is generative: one small kit of primitives whose morphological variations (chain, sheet, tube, layered, appendicular) construct experience by the same mechanism, an invariance shown for the self-model across body plans and scales. The central thesis: haltability -- the active holding of an opponent equilibrium -- is the architectural condition object-directed phenomenology requires; a second principle, that an object is a bundle of more than one property, carries it from felt resistance to a genuine object. A companion bench realizes each construction as a runnable, falsifiable experiment with a pre-registered order parameter and matched foil. We place the principal competing accounts -- sensorimotor enactivism, active inference, and ecological and affordance-based theories -- as limiting cases within a wider landscape, stating in each case the criterion that would tell them apart, and give systems and cognitive neuroscience its place: the nervous system as the integrating core that makes the body one, not a commander over it. On this account, the cognitivism-4E impasse reflects an incomplete architecture of the embodied agent: its resolution begins not with the brain alone but with the whole body.
