Def Representation/Sterelny: an organism represents (and does not simply react to a single feature) if it can track this feature with more than one class of proximal stimuli.
>Stimuli, >Behavior, >Proximal theory.
I 365
Representation/Sterelny: Representation is more than registration. E.g. chimpanzees adapt to the psychological states (aggressiveness) of other chimpanzees.
However, it is still one thing to track mental states, another to represent them.
>Mental states, >Internal states.
I 366
E.g., 1. A bonobo interprets the actions a, b, c.. as being of the same type,
2. they are produced by the same mental state Q (perhaps anger).
3. a, b, c, have no single sensory stimulus in common.
4. completeness
I 367
Deception/error/correction: Stability: can then consist of the variety of observable stimuli.
>Deceptions.
On the other hand: reaction bandwidth is also important.
I 368
Representation/Sterelny: Thesis: Representation develops in information-permeable environments.
>Information/Sterelny.},
