Calling a feature 'representational' rather than 'factual' requires justification beyond empirical equivalence—structural properties can be mind-independent even if multiply realizable.

Factual(as used in epistemology): Corresponding to something that is actually true or real, rather than just a matter of opinion or convention.
Multiply realizable(philosophy of mind): The idea that the same mental state or function could be implemented in different physical ways—like how the same software can run on different computers with different hardware.
empirical equivalence(The passage critiques this narrow definition for neglecting explanatory considerations): A relation between hypotheses defined strictly in terms of those hypotheses making the same predictions
mind-independent(Used to classify objects such as tables and chairs.): An object is mind-independent if its existence does not, by its very nature, depend on being the object or content of mental states, i.e., it could survive the annihilation of all thinking things.
