3 ;;Quote: most physics professors do not believe that the world is truly deterministic; but most theories are deterministic
11 ;;Quote: cognitive science rests on the assumption that cognitive terms can be related independently of other descriptive systems
11+;;Quote: phenomena can be taxonomized in an infinite number of ways at different hierarchical levels; interesting generalizations for each one
14 ;;Quote: there exist regularities over perceptual categories that are not stateable over stimulatory categories
14+;;Quote: there may be no restrictions on how stimulation is compatible with some perceptual interpretation
16 ;;Quote: if an event is to be explained, it must be viewed as nonunique, a member of a class
18 ;;Quote: physical terms derive their utility from our compelling need for simple and striking statements of the laws of the sensible world
55 ;;Quote: the physical state of a computer does not describe the computational process; a computational state is an equivalence class of complex physical states
72 ;;Quote: to interpret the semantics of computer behavior must see it as operating on symbols
