    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→The claim that a potentially infinite array of expressions can be 'passed to' concrete sensory-motor and conceptual-intentional systems is problematic, because passing each one would require a potentially infinite amount of time.

    Marr's tri-level hypothesis establishes that computational-level descriptions (what is computed) are explanatorily independent of implementational-level facts (how long physical execution takes).

    Key Terms

    Computational-level description(the first level of Marr's hypothesis)
    An explanation of what a brain or computer is trying to figure out or accomplish, without worrying about how it actually does it physically.
    Explanatorily independent(describing the relationship between what a system computes and how physically fast it runs)
    Means you can fully explain one thing without needing to know about another thing; they're separate in terms of understanding.
    Implementational-level facts(the practical, physical level of how systems operate)
    The physical details of how something actually works in practice—like how fast a computer's circuits run or how long it takes neurons to fire.
    Marr, David(the originator of the tri-level analysis framework mentioned)
    A cognitive scientist who created an influential framework for understanding how the brain processes information by breaking it down into three levels of analysis.

    Tri-level hypothesis(the main theory being described)
    A framework that says you can understand any thinking system (like a brain or computer) at three different levels: what problem it's solving, how it actually solves it with physical stuff, and the detailed steps in between.
