A workshop at the Artificial Life XV conference revisited enactivism's contributions to biology, aiming to ground the concept of autonomy in quantitative definitions based on observable phenomena. Discussions covered identifying emergent individuals from environmental backgrounds, the roles of autonomy and normativity in biological theory, the spontaneous emergence of autonomous agents at life's origins, and scientific approaches to subjective experience.
