    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Two theories differ fundamentally when they disagree on the type, not merely degree, of innate endowment required—Tomasello and Chomsky disagree on exactly this point.

    Both theorists might agree on core capacities (recursion, abstraction, social learning) while disagreeing on their integration—making the disagreement less fundamental than claimed.

    Key Terms

    Social learning(as one example of selection being discussed)
    The way people learn by observing, imitating, and being influenced by others in their community, where the most useful ideas and behaviors tend to spread.
    abstraction(Godfrey, Quodlibet V, q. 10)
    The process by which the agent intellect draws out potentially intelligible content from phantasms, making that content available to the possible intellect
    fundamental disagreement(as contrasted with less serious disputes)
    A core difference that goes to the heart of what someone believes, rather than a surface-level or minor disagreement.
    integration(Raymond's contrast between integration and integrity as models of selfhood and liberation)
    Putting together parts to form a complex whole; a blending of previously distinct elements such as masculine and feminine

    recursion(HCF's characterization of the core property of FLN)
    A cognitive universal capacity posited by HCF that underlies not only natural language but also arithmetic (counting and the successor function), and possibly navigation and social relations; not defined over specifically linguistic inputs and outputs.
