Les perspectives filosòfiques posthumanistes així com les nuevomaterialistas ens permeten repensar els processos cognitius més enllà de les lògiques localizacionistas. El localizacionismo s'aproxima a la cognició com un procés singularment localitzat: ara en les neurones, ara en el cervell, ara en el cos d'un organisme que sosté un racionalisme logocéntrico, individualitzat i autónimo. No obstant això, la proposta del cervell-acoblament, així com la concepció més àmplia de la cognició-ensamblajada, ens incita a repensar més enllà els processos cognitius. La cognició es converteix en una conjunció de processos en extensió i proliferació, a penes localitzables, mentre esdevenen en un pla relacional i intensiu. No obstant això, fins a quin ùnto és possible pressuposar aquesta estructura ecològica de la cognició? Quin és el llindar en tal procés en allò que respecta a la relacionalidad com a tal, així com a les alteritats no necessàriament dotades de sistema nerviós, o -més encara- les no biològiques?
En aquest article articulem una proposta per a repensar la ment encarnada com disseminada i confusa a través de conceptualitzacions noves que llancen llum per a entendre la cognició com un procés ensablajado en el relacional. La nostra proposta aborda els processos mentals com a trobades i intercanvis materials de caràcter incessant i intensiu. Des d'un lloc recursivo, tancat i neuro-centrat —com a propietat local que està confinada en un òrgan-organisme, o bé que es prolonga concèntricament des d'ell— la cognició desborda l'encarnat, així com el dualisme que estableix una serpación entre l'encarnat i allò pressupost com a extern. Al contrari, la cognició ensabljada alteritats, erigint-se com un procés plural i a esdevenir ecològic que traspassa l'individual, va rostir com el biològicament individualitzat.
