Notes

• The paper introduces the concept of active externalism, suggesting that cognitive processes can extend beyond the brain and into the external environment through close interaction with tools and technologies.
• The paper presents the Parity Principle, which argues that if an external process functions similarly to an internal cognitive process, it should be considered part of the mind.
• The paper uses the thought experiment of Otto and Inga to illustrate how external objects, such as a notebook, can serve as an integral part of a person's cognitive system.
• The paper argues that cognitive systems can be seen as coupled systems where internal mental processes and external resources work together to create a unified cognitive process.
• The paper explores the philosophical implications of the Extended Mind Thesis for concepts like personal identity and the nature of the self, suggesting that external elements may shape aspects of our identity.
