    Functional consistency only requires input-output correct... — Carmelics

    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→P4's dilemma assumes that v'(f(Q)) ≠ v(f(Q)) is implausible, but under functional dependence, functional consistency requires only that f applied to the new base value v'(Q) yields the correct eigenvalue, which is a constraint satisfied, not violated, by context-change.

    Functional consistency only requires input-output correctness, not fixed outputs across contexts. Different contexts yielding different values is consistent with functional behavior.

    Key Terms

    Fixed outputs(as used in logic and philosophy of mind)
    Always producing exactly the same result no matter what the circumstances are.
    Functional behavior(as used in philosophy of mind and logic)
    The way something works or operates based on what it's designed to do, focusing on whether it accomplishes its purpose rather than how it does it.
    Functional consistency(as used in formal logic)
    The requirement that a function (a rule that transforms inputs into outputs) always works the same way and produces reliable, predictable results.
    Input-output correctness(as used in logic and systems analysis)
    The idea that a system is working properly when whatever goes in produces the right kind of result coming out, based on what should happen in that situation.
