    It is not the case that Differing cognitive states across engagements constitute a form of change even if no temporal succession underlies them.

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

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Change traditionally means one state transitioning to another, requiring temporal ordering to be meaningful.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Different cognitive states across engagements are separate events occurring at different times, undermining the claim.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Calling achronic differences 'change' equivocates on the term and obscures rather than clarifies the phenomenon.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Change requires only a difference between states, not temporal succession between them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Cognitive states at different engagements are genuinely distinct mental configurations, not identical.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Mathematical objects exhibit structural differences without time; cognition may similarly be atemporal.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
