Abstract

We present here a theoretical framework about the nervous system operation that explains the origin of coordinated behavior without violating the structural determinism inherent to the constitutive autonomy of living systems. At the same time we will show that cognition is not the outcome of a computational task, as it is envisaged by the tradicional paradigm that considers the brain an information processing device, but rather is the results of the spontaneous structural coupling that take place ontogenically and phylogenically between a living system and its circumstances of living.
