If our intuitions about spectrum inversion are artifacts of a Cartesian conceptual framework, those intuitions cannot serve as independent evidence against functionalist theories without begging the question.

Cartesian: # Cartesian "Cartesian" refers to a system of organizing space using perpendicular lines or axes (usually labeled x, y, and z) that intersect at a point called the origin, allowing you to pinpoint any location using numbers called coordinates. The term comes from René Descartes, a 17th-century French philosopher and mathematician who developed this method as a way to bridge geometry and algebra. You use it every day without thinking about it—GPS coordinates, video game graphics, and even spreadsheet cells all rely on this Cartesian coordinate system.
Conceptual framework(the overall structure being discussed): A system of basic ideas and assumptions that we use to organize and understand something.
Independent evidence(what the author says is missing for the proposed cleavage): Proof or support that stands on its own, not depending on assumptions or other claims we haven't verified yet.
artifacts(as used in philosophy of mind and epistemology): Objects that are made or designed by humans, like tools, furniture, or art—things that have a purpose someone intended them to have.
