    Key Terms

    (18) and (21)(technical notation indicating cross-references)
    References to numbered claims or propositions made elsewhere in the text being discussed; these numbers point to specific statements the author wants to compare.
    Cognitive grip(what genuine knowledge requires according to the statement)
    An actual grasp or understanding of something—when you really 'get' an idea, not just memorize it.
    Inferential integration(what Sellars says true knowledge requires)
    The ability to connect what you know to other ideas—to see how one fact relates to and supports other facts you understand.
    Rote memorization(contrasted with genuine understanding)
    Learning something by repeating it over and over until you can recite it, without necessarily understanding what it means or how to use it.

    Sellars
    Wilfrid Sellars was an influential 20th-century American philosopher who fundamentally changed how we think about knowledge, perception, and meaning. He argued that our scientific understanding of the world and our everyday experiences of it aren't separate things but need to be brought together into one coherent picture. His ideas, particularly about how language relates to reality and how we know things, continue to shape modern philosophy.
    epistemic states(Multiple ontological states can map to a single epistemic state)
    States represented within the model state space, which are the modeler's knowledge representations of the target system
