Drawing on insights from the philosophy of cognitive science, the article examines how this reinterpretation addresses longstanding objections to relationalism and provides a fresh epistemic framework for understanding timeless, background-independent physics. Special attention is given to how this perspective helps reconcile the relationalist ontology with the intelligibility of physical evolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to announce that the paper \u201cShape Space as a Conceptual Space\u201d by Antonio Vassallo has been published open access in Synthese.
