Document Summary

Computation: first, info is encoded into propositions with logical syntactic structure. Then, it is manipulated/processed inferentially & in a structure- sensitive manner. Computers: things that propositionally represent information using a logical syntactic structure. Cognition as computation: around for a long time as an idea, central to scientific revolution, necessary to explain theory of mind & to fulfill the natural imperative. Scientific revolution: opposite of aristotleian point of view. Conformity theory: (aristotle) how the mind works (see below) patterns of intelligibility . Parallel decomposition: the idea that a complex machine can be broken down into a series of smaller & smaller algorithms. Interpreting: making sense of decoding1 string of x, by translating it to another, or understanding. Implementation: functions vertically- between higher & lower levels- within itself (a computer can be implemented entirely algorithmically) Use: horizontally, using data from the rest of the world (often things are used" heuristically)
