One of my favorite papers on emergence fits nicely with this perspective. It's explicitly 'perspectival', avoiding any 'view from nowhere'.

I highly recommend reading the paper! Intuitionism has a very different notion of the continuum.

Learning about HoTT brings one in contact with some very interesting, though technical, aspects of semantics. I highly recommend this paper by Per Martin-Löf: 'On the Meanings of the Logical Constants and the Justifications of the logical laws'

☝️ Absolutely brilliant paper. I'd say it's a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science.

Quite an interesting paper actually. I was stimulated to explore this zone by that Tsao & Tsao paper on visual object segmentation.

The Markov blanket business also strikes me as quite muddled. This paper is worth reading:
