Embodiment
Embodiment
●
Humans separate from nature
●
Knowledge limited by sensorimotor channels
●
Abstracted, “rational”
●
Behaviour = intention + risk
(e.g., Theory of Planned Behaviour)
Embedment
Embedment
●
Humans integral to nature
●
Knowledge also limited by environment
●
Innate (evolved) factors
●
Direct experience → “intuitive” models

i) Extract silhouette outline of a landscape
ii) Calculate fractal dimension (self-similarity)

i.e., do we have an evolved response (low arousal, +ve
emotion → improved wellbeing) to healthy ecosystems?
