Enactive Systems

Enactive systems are models that emphasize the idea that cognition arises through active interaction with the environment. Instead of viewing perception and thinking as processes that happen inside the mind alone, enactive systems highlight how understanding and meaning develop through dynamic engagement with surroundings. They involve sensing, acting, and adapting in real-time, where the system and environment continuously influence each other. This approach is often used in robotics and AI to create more adaptive, responsive behaviors, reflecting the way living beings learn and adapt through their ongoing interactions with the world.
