Abstract
We build upon Haueis and Colaço’s account in two ways. First, we argue that the backgrounding of metabolism was a pragmatic response to a data granularity problem faced by traditional cognitive modelers. Then, we suggest that equivalence demonstrations offer a promising pathway for incrementally introducing metabolic considerations into extant modeling practice.
