Editing Modular Theory of Mind (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Understanding</span> ==
Modular theory is understood through '''Efficiency''' and '''Isolation'''.

'''1. The "Speed" of Instinct (Encapsulation)''':
Why can't you "Talk your eyes out" of an "Illusion"?
* (See Article 617). If you see a **Snake**, your **"Fear Module"** "Triggers" "Instantly."
* Even if your **"Reasoning Module"** says "It's just a toy," you still **"Feel"** the "Jerk."
* This is **Information Encapsulation.**
* The "Module" "Runs" "Automatically" because it is **"Isolated"** from "Higher Thought."
* "Speed" requires "Ignorance" of the "Whole."

'''2. The "Evolved" Toolbox (Domain Specificity)''':
Why are we "Good at Some Things" and "Bad at Others"?
* We are **"Evolved Animals"** (see Article 146).
* Our ancestors "Needed" a "Module" for **"Detecting Cheaters"** and **"Avoiding Toxins."**
* They "Did Not Need" a "Module" for **"Calculus"** or **"Stock Trading."**
* This is why "Social Logic" feels "Easy" while "Formal Logic" (see Article 111) feels "Hard."
* We "Inherited" a **"Specific Architecture."**

'''3. The "Assembly" of Consciousness (Integration)''':
How do modules "Talk"?
* (See Article 130). If the mind is "Many Parts," how do we "Feel" like **"One Person"**?
* Fodor argued that there is a **"Central Processor"** (System 2) that "Receives" the "Outputs" of the modules.
* The modules are the **"Sub-routines"**; the "Consciousness" is the **"User Interface."**
* We are "A Collection of Experts" "Managed" by "One Narrator."

'''The 'Cheater Detection' Task (Wason Selection)'''': A classic experiment. People find it "Hard" to solve a "Logic Puzzle" with "Numbers," but "Easy" to solve the **"Same Puzzle"** if it is "Framed" as a "Social Rule" (e.g. 'Who is drinking alcohol illegally?'). It proved that our "Brain" has a **"Specific Module"** for "Social Contract" logic.
