- I fail to understand how your formalism is related to the mind. What
- are the dimensions and light for? I think you have to explore the
- cognitive psychology literature to relate your notation to more traditional
- ways of talking about the mind. Be careful about unsubstantiated claims,
- however. Producing the output of a single mental process does not allow you
- to make the claim of modelling the mind, much as rolling a wheel down an
- incline does allow you to claim that you've modelled (in a useful way!) the
- space shuttle.
