延展认知的再认识

The recognition of the Extended Cognition

认知是能够延展的,但是,这不是基于传统的"均等原则"和"耦合构成论证"的认识,而是基于认知标志的设定。因为功能上的均等并不能保证过程上的均等,而耦合之于构成并不充分。认知标志的设定和延展认知假设的主张看似不可调和,其根源在于认知上的唯我论。但是,事实上,并没有绝对的理由把脑作为心智的唯一机制,仅仅是出于一种偶然的经验证实而已。因此,认知标志完全可以发生于脑之外的世界,这也就意味着认知过程可以是跨颅的,所以认知是能够延展的。

It's generally accepted that cognition is extendible.However,this paper is intended to question the conventional'parity principle'and'coupling-constitution argument'that was used to explain it,in that functional parity cannot guarantee procedural parity meanwhile coupling alone is insufficiently constitutive.Instead,we propose we adopt mark of cognition as the basis of extended cognition.Though seemingly absurd due to its solipsism origin,the theory of mark of cognition has in fact revealed that there's actually no absolute evidence so far that brain activity is the only blueprint of mind and what we get is but an'accidental empirical verification'of said process.Alternatively,assuming mark of cognition existed outside our brain we may have an explanation to the question,showing that cognition is transcranial therefore extendible.
