    It is not the case that D1 and its revision thus differ in cognitive grain, making equivalence fail for minds sensitive to representational differences.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Equivalence requires sameness of relevant properties; cognitive grain may be epistemically inaccessible and causally inert.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.All actual minds may be insensitive to representational grain differences if they only track functional/causal roles, not intrinsic structure.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Cognitive grain distinctions risk being purely stipulative without empirical evidence that any mind actually discriminates them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Cognitive grain concerns how finely mental representations discriminate: D1 and its revision differ in discriminatory structure.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Minds sensitive to representational differences can detect and respond to fine-grained distinctions that functionally identical states make.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If two representations have different cognitive grain, they produce different mental states for cognitively discriminating systems.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
