History
The inaugural issue of Constructivist Foundations was presented at the 2005 meeting of the American Society for Cybernetics.[2][3]
Originally, the articles in CF were meant to explore mainly

They emphasize the primacy of the cognitive system and its organizational closure. In the understanding of constructivism, cognition is not about creating representations of a mind-independent reality but constructing reality."[4]
