Abstract
A mature science strives to provide causal explanations of observed phenome na rather than focusing on taxonomic descriptions of data. A field theory m odel is a step towards providing a truly scientific account of development. However, the model is under-constrained in that it ignores the boundary co nditions defined by the physical constraints imposed by the infant's develo ping brain and body.
