Line 5: EEC is divided into two aspects: [[embodiment]] and embeddedness (or situatedness). ''Embodiment'' refers to the idea that the bodies' internal milieu (a.o. [[homeostatic]] and hormonal states) heavily influences the higher 'cognitive' processes in the brain, presumably via the [[emotion]]al system (see e.g. [[Antonio Damasio]]'s theory of [[Somatic markers hypothesis\|somatic markers]]). To put it simply: the state of your body is a direct factor of importance on the kinds of [[cognitive process]]es that may arise in the higher parts of your brain. ''Embeddedness'' refers to the idea that physical interaction between the body and the world strongly constrain the possible behaviours of the organism, which in turn influences (indeed, partly constitutes) the cognitive processes that emerge out of the interaction between organism and world.
