AB We explore implications of new results from control theory – the Data Rate Theorem – for theories of embodied cognition. A conceptual extension of the theorem can be applied to models of cognitive interaction with a complex dynamic environment, providing a spectrum of necessary conditions dynamic statistical models that should be useful in empirical studies. Using a large deviations argument, particular attention is paid to regulation and stabilization of such systems, which can also be an interpenetrating phenomenon of mutual interaction that becomes convoluted with embodied cognition.
