Exploratory

Nested Selfhood and Umwelt

An exploratory model of how increasingly integrated forms of self may emerge from nested biological and regulatory boundaries.

Central problem

I examine how increasingly integrated forms of self may emerge as biological systems regulate themselves within larger systems. The model extends the Umwelt concept to ask how nested boundaries shape what each system can perceive, represent and control.

Evidence status
