The Cartesian Concept of Mind, 2.0 (SSH)V. SSH 2.1 Modularity Current LectureMind as Symbol System- Speculation- Realization- Purpose: Feedback- The First Practical Computers- Interpreted Formal SystemsFormal System ReasoningI. Either Fonebone or Rocco murdered Captain Klutz.II. If Fonebone did it, his DNA is on the knife.III. Fonebone’s DNA is not on the knife.IV. Therefore, Fonebone did not murder Klutz; andV. Therefore, Rocco murdered Captain Klutz.Tocans(1) F V R(2) F ¬ D(3) ~ DTHEREFORE:(4) ~ F (FROM 2 AND 3 BY MODUS TOLLENS)These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
