The external indices must be no propositions, but can be interpreted sentences or formulas. - Even uninterpreted. The psychology must accept any content. - That is, they must not be semantical. - Instead laws, such as input to belief leads to action. Unformulated theory: we identify the equivalence class of sets that they would formulate. I 276 Instead of content: authority of a believing person is sometimes a good example.
