• 4E cognition: embodied, embedded, enactive, extended
• Heidegger: how the engaged activity of being-in-the-world holds open aletheia-1, "the thrown-open/dis-closed 'space' that ex-sistence itself is and that makes possible both the intelligibility of things (aletheia-2) and the correctness of propositions (aletheia-3)" (Sheehan [2015] pgs. 74-75).
• participatory knowing—the activity of opening domains of intelligibility
• performative (skillful) and procedural (tacit/implicit) knowledge: know-how—the acivity of skillfully navigating a domain of intelligibility
• Vervaeke, navigating the salience landscape: "...it is rhythmic in nature. You project a salience landscape of how things stand out for you, like the square shape, and then you bind your actions to it, you constrain yourself to only working in the square, but then you break out of that loop, re-project and re-bind yourself to the new salience landscape. It is like breathing..."
