Abstract Bruineberg and colleagues argue that a realist interpretation of Markov blankets inadvertently relies upon unfounded assumptions. However, insofar as their diagnosis is accurate, prescribed instrumentalism may ultimately prove insufficient complete remedy. Drawing process-based perspective on living systems, we suggest potential way to avoid some the assumptions behind problems describ...

Various structured argumentation frameworks utilize preferences as part of their inference procedure. In this paper, we consider an inverse the standard reasoning problem, seeking to identify what could lead a given set conclusions being drawn. We ground our work in Assumption-Based Argumentation (ABA) framework, and present algorithm which computes enumerates all possible sets (restricted thre...
