Eugene et al-- Interesting branching of the discussion which, unfortunately,
I cannot trace in all its interesting directions right now.

Re synomorph: For prior lchc discussion, use google search on lchc and
you will come up with some prior discussion but no full definition. I do not
have relevant Barker refs at home, so unless someone else comes up with
the appropriate passage, it will take a day or two to follow through.

Lave in Cognition in Practice, p. 149 discusses idea of behavior setting
(also a relevant footnote).

I ask the question because Barker seems so often relevant yet forgotten.
Jean focuses on his shortcomings, from her perspective. But she interprets
him as an environmental determinist in ways that may not draw the most
useful lessons from his work. There is no subject index to Cognition in
Practice which makes searching it difficult for purposes like this. More on this
asap.
