    Supports→The soundness of the B-Deduction argument is imperiled

    Key Terms

    Apperception(Kantian epistemology)

    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.
    Deduction(Notational framework for summarizing logical deductions)
    A structured unit of reasoning consisting of separate stretches of reasoning (Arguments) leading to logically interconnected results (Conclusions)
    Derived(as used in epistemology and philosophy of mind)
    Something that comes from or is built up out of something else more basic; the opposite of primitive or fundamental.
    Necessity (philosophical)

    (as what the theory is trying to explain)
    Something that *must* be true, that couldn't possibly be otherwise—as opposed to something that just happens to be true but could have been different.
    Presupposed(describing what hinges require of any reasoning process)
    Something that must already be assumed or taken for granted in order for something else to make sense or work.
    Time's unity(as used in metaphysics and philosophy of time)
    The idea that time is one continuous thing rather than disconnected moments—that past, present, and future somehow form a single coherent whole.
    circular argument(Epistemology; the passage implicitly describes begging the question)
    An argument that includes its own conclusion as one of its premises
