• Resumen

  • Tradicionalmente, la teoría computacional (computacionalismo) y la teoría de sistemas dinámicos (dinamicismo) se han enfrentado como dos paradigmas opuestos e incompatibles en ciencia cognitiva. Frente a esto, se han hecho esfuerzos conciliatorios e integracionistas que buscan, principalmente, acercar el dinamicismo al computacionalismo a expensas de su postura anti-representacionalista. En este trabajo, basándonos en la teoría computacional mecanicista de Piccinini y la noción de clausura funcional, exploramos una vía de integración diferente. Intentamos acercar el computacionalismo al dinamicismo a expensas de su postura representacionalista, invitándolo además a reconocer el carácter funcionalmente cerrado de (ciertos) sistemas computacionales.
