Um and
Potentially we could think about them as being related to what you can do in the world as well.
And so maybe actions well, we have brain states that correspond to our our also our our uh proprioception, our muscles, where you know, th things having to do with our own body.
And so there's these various brain states that carry
We could think of them as carrying information.
The reason I'm worried about using that phrase is because again, I don't want to uh I I don't believe in sort of a one to one simple correspondence where we say this particular brain state corresponds to uh you know, this perceptual uh i uh kind of phenomenon um in the world, uh or or some state of the world, because it's probably not that simple.
It's probably closer to this potentialities.
Uh right.
There there's some
sort of activity uh that's due to my perceptual system that my brain can do things with um and and and and and engage with in some way.
And so but what we do have is these brain states that are are derived from from uh
distinct sources of information.
Sensory perceptual
And then linguistic.
Linguistic gets there, by the way, through sensory perception, but we're not gonna get into that, right?
We l we're thinking of symbols as being kinda arbitrary.
Yes, you have to hear the word cat and you have to hear the word dog.
Um but
I think we have good reason to say now it's just like large language models that these are kind of arbitrary symbols with the relations between them.
That's what matters.
