This paper applies evolutionary and functional constructivism approaches to the discussion
of psychological taxonomies, as implemented in the neurochemical model Functional …

Since the pioneering work by Julius Adler in the 1960's, bacterial chemotaxis has been
predominantly studied as metabolism-independent. All available simulation models of …

The lexical approach is a method in differential psychology that uses people's estimations of
verbal descriptors of human behavior in order to derive the structure of human individuality …

The Functional Constructivism (FC) paradigm is an alternative to behaviorism and considers
behavior as being generated every time anew, based on an individual's capacities …

Whether collective agency is a coherent concept depends on the theory of agency that we
choose to adopt. We argue that the enactive theory of agency developed by Barandiaran, Di …

We use a minimal model of metabolism-based chemotaxis to show how a coupling between
metabolism and behavior can affect evolutionary dynamics in a process we refer to as …

A variety of models have been developed to investigate “homeostatic adaptation,” a
mechanism inspired by Ashby's homeostat, where a plastic control medium is reorganized …

An essential feature of autonomous adaptive agency is that a system behaves according to
an intrinsic norm. In this paper, we illustrate and clarify this notion of “behavior according to …

This thesis considers the relationship between adaptive behaviour and metabolism, using
theoretical arguments supported by computational models to demonstrate mechanisms of …

Buildings consume a lot of energy and the renewal of building stock is very slow, which
drives the construction of built environments to efficiently use resources towards …
