Fuchs and his colleagues are now collaborating with enactivists to see if they can inform each other further: whereas the enactivists have thought more deeply about what perception means and how we interact, the QBists can offer a mathematical treatment of how those predictions and probabilities tie together.

Fuchs, for one, says he hopes to flesh out his approach to cover not just conscious human measurements, but all kinds of agency, to understand better what it means for our experiences to form “part of the stuff of the world”. And this brings us back to the idea of now. The QBists and enactivists are reaching for a reality that wasn’t created in one long-ago big bang and then left to run.

All of this leads enactivists, too, towards the conclusion that our perceptions aren’t representations or hallucinations, but inseparable from reality itself – as are the perceptions of all living things.
