Anti-functionalist(as a philosophical position): A rejection of functionalism; the view that mental states cannot be fully explained just by their functional roles, and that something else matters too.
Color space(as a structural feature of perception): The organized system of how all colors relate to each other—their similarities, differences, and positions relative to one another (like how red and orange are close neighbors while red and blue are far apart).
Shoemaker: A shoemaker is a craftsperson who designs, makes, and repairs shoes by hand or with tools. Historically, shoemakers were skilled artisans who would create custom footwear tailored to individual customers, though today the term can refer to anyone who professionally makes or fixes shoes. This trade is one of the oldest crafts, dating back centuries, and shoemakers were once central figures in communities before mass manufacturing took over shoe production.
