Agreements: Boundary belongs primarily to Being, not Soul (SF-C002). Disagreements / tensions: Luhmann’s systems are communications, not person-like Beings. Adjacent terminology: operational closure, structural coupling, observation Source notes path: research/foundations/001-references.md ``` ### SF-R019–R034 — Autonomy cluster (selected) Priority set from RN-002 (see `research/foundations/002-references.md`): | ID | Work | Role for Soul Frame | |---|---|---| | Varela 1979 | *Principles of Biological Autonomy* | autonomy, self-reference | | Di Paolo 2005 | Autopoiesis, Adaptivity, Teleology, Agency | adaptivity vs passive persistence | | Barandiaran et al. 2009 | Defining Agency | individuality, normativity, asymmetry | | Moreno & Mossio 2015 | *Biological Autonomy* | book-length autonomy synthesis | | Montévil & Mossio 2015 | Closure of constraints | organizational closure formalization | | Krakauer et al. 2020 | Information Theory of Individuality | graded, temporal individuality | | Nicholson & Dupré 2018 | *Everything Flows* | process ontology of persistence | ```text Tags: foundational / contemporary Relevant Soul Frame concepts: Autonomous individuality, Being criteria B1–B8 Source notes path: research/foundations/002-references.md ``` --- ## B. Mind beyond substrate; social mind precursors ### SF-R005 — Clark & Chalmers 1998 ```text Citation: Clark, Andy, and David Chalmers. 1998. “The Extended Mind.” Analysis 58(1): 7–19. Tags: foundational Relevant Soul Frame concepts: Mind, Body, boundary Summary: External resources may constitutively participate in cognition when suitably coupled. Agreements: Body/Mind/Soul are functional dimensions, not physical compartments. Disagreements / tensions: coupling vs constitution debates continue. Adjacent terminology: extended mind, parity principle Source notes path: research/foundations/001-references.md ``` ### SF-R006 — Hutchins 1995 ```text Citation: Hutchins, Edwin. 1995. Cognition in the Wild. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. Tags: foundational Relevant Soul Frame concepts: Mind, collective cognition, TE-05 Summary: Cognition analyzed at system level of people + artifacts (e.g. navigation).

Adjacent terminology: distributed cognition Source notes path: research/foundations/001-references.md ``` ### SF-R007 — Mead 1934 ```text Citation: Mead, George Herbert. 1934. Mind, Self, and Society. University of Chicago Press.

Oxford: Clarendon Press. Tags: foundational Relevant Soul Frame concepts: Identity, continuity, fork (TE-03) Summary: Psychological connectedness/continuity; fission; survival without strict identity.
