Primes

• Compositionality
  • Cognitive science and AI: The Fodor-Pylyshyn (1988) argument from compositionality claims that the systematicity of cognition—that anyone who understands "John loves Mary" also understands "Mary loves John"—is best explained by a compositional language of thought (LOT).

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
