abstract: Interactivism is a vast and rather ambitious philosophical
and theoretical system originally developed by Mark
Bickhard, which covers plethora of aspects related to
mind and person. Within interactivism, an agent is
regarded as an action system: an autonomous, self-organizing,
self-maintaining entity, which can exercise
actions and sense their effects in the environment it
inhabits. In this paper, we will argue that it is especially
suited for treatment of the problem of representation in
epigenetic agents. More precisely, we will elaborate on
process-based ontology for representations, and will
sketch a way of discussing about architectures for
epigenetic agents in a general manner.
