Body model control isn't a reductive theory. It's an observed technological accomplishment. We thought to ourselves "wouldn't it be cool if" - and then we did it, and it worked as fantastically as we imagined it would. Do you think that replacing function in that theory with value is tenable...and if valualism is a just so story...does body model control appear to be a just so story?
Once upon a time we thought "wouldn't a system with a body model be so much better at performing tasks than all of these systems that we currently have without one?" - The answer was yes. We didn't know how to do it when we first dreamt it up, but we figured it out since. Body model control systems exist. Boundary boxing is one of them.
Just one.....
As a semi aside, did you actually close your eyes, play with your hands, or consider the distance to a wall in the dark?
