    Key Terms

    Cognitive Architecture(as referring to the design of the mind's capabilities)
    The underlying structure of how the mind works—basically, the mental systems and processes that organize thinking, memory, and learning.
    Logically prior(as used in logic and metaphysics)
    Something that must come first in terms of reasoning or logical order, even if it doesn't happen first in time—like how the rules of a game come before the game itself.
    a priori(Frege treats 'analytic' as entailing 'a priori' for arithmetic.)
    Knowable independently of empirical experience; here treated as a consequence of analyticity.
    intelligible(describing the noumenal self)
    Able to be understood or known through reason and thought, rather than through our five senses.
    nature (as transcendental structure)

    (as used in metaphysics)
    The unchanging, fundamental patterns or rules that exist in reality itself and make it possible for us to understand anything at all.
    transcendental(Scotus's reformulated conception)
    That which has no predicate above it except being; commonality to many inferiors is inessential.
