Two books — what each is for
| Dynamics in Action (DiA, 1999) | Context Changes Everything (CCE, 2023) | |
|---|---|---|
| Problem | Analytic action theory under efficient-cause monism | Same diagnosis generalized to coherence/identity |
| Core move | Causality as constraint; intention as dynamical attractor | Full taxonomy of constraints; coherence; mereology |
| Read when | You care about mind, intention, explanation of action | You want the general theory of context & constraints |
| Path modules | M01–M02, C006 | M03–M07 |
| Local text | ../../complexity/juarrero-research/sources/dynamics_in_action_full.md |
../../complexity/juarrero-research/sources/Context_Changes_Everything.md |
Beginners: finish the path first; then pick one book by interest. CCE is open access from MIT Press.
Talks: compress CCE chs. 3–7 + applications; Lounge sessions push talk-forward (constraintomes, tensegrity).
