Vegetative incompatibility in fungi results from the control of heterokaryon formation by the genes present at het loci. Coexpression of antagonistic het genes in the same hyphae leads to a lethal process. In Podospora anserina, self-incompatible strains containing nonallelic incompatible genes in the same nucleus are inviable as the result of a growth arrest and a lytic process. Mutations in s...

The het-s locus is one of nine known het (heterokaryon incompatibility) loci of the fungus Podospora anserina. This locus exists as two wild-type alleles, het-s and het-S, which encode 289 amino acid proteins differing at 13 amino acid positions. The het-s and het-S alleles are incompatible as their coexpression in the same cytoplasm causes a characteristic cell death reaction. We have proposed...

Richard Heersmink argues that self-narratives are distributed across embodied organisms and their environment, given building blocks, autobiographical memories, distributed. This argument faces two problems. First, it commits a fallacy of composition. Second, relies on Marya Schechtman's narrative self-constitution view, which is incompatible with the cognition framework. To solve these problem...
