    Notes: In the Transcendental Aesthetic part of the Critique of Pure Reason, Immanuel Kant stated the a priori necessity of the singularity of space that, "we can represent to ourselves only one space; and if we speak of diverse spaces, we mean thereby only parts of one and the same space ... these parts cannot precede the one all-embracing space ... they can be thought only as in it". If correct, Kant places a tight bound around the universe we consciously inhabit. Established arguments against Kant's claims are reviewed and criticised based on the notion of dream spaces, before outlining the novel hypothesis that the widespread use of cyberspace and large scale multi-user virtual realities illustrate public spaces beyond physical reality, and as such provide an empirical refutation of the a priori necessity of the singularity of space.

    Computer-mediated communication use by the deaf and hard-of-hearing (2000)

    Notes: Discusses the potential of computer-mediated communication to reduce the social isolation experienced by many deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. Communication presents significant problems for this group of people, some of which can be bridged by communicating via the Internet or e-mail. deaf Internet users were surveyed by use of a questionnaire. Their opinions, summarised in this paper, emphasise the significance of computer-mediated communication for the deaf; namely that interaction can be both less stressful and faster, thereby reducing the isolation many feel due to the physical constraints imposed by their deafness.

    Second-order cybernetics and enactive perception (2005)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Kybernetes 34 (2005), S. 1309-1320

    Notes: Purpose - To present an account of cognition integrating second-order cybernetics (SOC) together with enactive perception and dynamic systems theory. Design/methodology/approach - The paper presents a brief critique of classical models of cognition then outlines how integration of SOC, enactive perception and dynamic systems theory can overcome some weaknesses of the classical paradigm. Findings - Presents the critique of evolutionary robotics showing how the issues of teleology and autonomy are left unresolved by this paradigm although their solution fits within the proposed framework. Research limitations/implications - The paper highlights the importance of genuine autonomy in the development of artificial cognitive systems. It sets out a framework within which the robotic research of cognitive systems could succeed. Practical implications - There are no immediate practical implications but see research implications. Originality/value - It joins the discussion on the fundamental nature of cognitive systems and emphasise the importance of autonomy and embodiment.
