The Atomic Components of Thought
Abstract
etcetera garden of Eden before the serpent introduces science, and with that, the need for natural-kind concepts). Those readers prepared to stick through this small but densely argued book will be rewarded with a sparkling display of eloquence, as well as a glimpse of the vast panorama of issues surrounding what you might have thought was a small technical problem, but which Fodor shows us is one of the central outstanding problems of cognitive science.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
