TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight a kind of con- dition of epistemological adequacy that should be accepted by proponents of extended cognition; once this condition is motivated, they demonstrate how attempts to satisfy this condition seem to inevitably devolve into a novel kind of epistemic circularity.

Extended scaffolding: A more general theory of scaffolded cognition

TL;DR: This work establishes a principled way to set down a boundary between the mind and the environment by developing a methodology for modeling potentially cognitive processes.

The Bounds of Cognition

Networks of the Brain

TL;DR: Models of Network Growth All networks, whether they are social, technological, or biological, are the result of a growth process, and many continue to grow for prolonged periods of time, continually modifying their connectivity structure throughout their entire existence.
