Abstract
In this chapter, I outline the dynamical approach that informs the notion of reciprocal coupling/causation. Especially important, for cognitive integration, is the way that two reciprocally coupled systems are treated as components of a larger system. I then go on to discuss the important difference reciprocal coupling makes to cognitive integration and why this differentiates it from its cousin externalism.
