Document Summary
Intertheoretic reduction: condition 1 the vocabulary must be commensurate (example, chemistry to, condition 2 a higher level (structures, elements, relationships, laws) have to be derived from the lower level physics) Levels of explanation terms of another theory: each of those are levels, the upper levels are decomposed into the lower levels. What is happening at the upper level can be explained in terms of the level before it, eventually down to the lowest level. All of the information comes to you and you have the information you need, you don"t need anyone else. Modular systems the level above in the mind: non-modular designed to transform those instructions appropriate kind. If there are things like this in the mind, it would be difficult to use marr"s tri- ways. Example, language can be used to interpret or represent; memory could be an example.
