Really appreciating the way you're distinguishing between different reasoning systems—it’s prompting me to reflect on how we model our own reasoning processes. I’m curious: would terms like 'computational cognition' and 'computational reasoning' serve as useful distinctions here instead of just cognition and reasoning? And when it comes to what might be called "System 2," do you think there's room to frame it in terms of 'meta-computational processes'—that is, processes that fine-tune or regulate other computations, whether cognitive or reasoning-based?
You later refer to this as 'artificial reasoning', which seems like a solid term too. Just wondering if there's more to explore around the idea of computation as model for cognition.
If any of this is grounded in work by cognitive scientists, I’d love to read more—feel free to share references if you have them. Looking forward to reading the next part!
I don’t think picking different terms will solve this. Neuroscience has added many subfields with “computation” in the term. Computational neuroscience is a long established field. Brains absolutely do computation…

You are one of the only experts that gets what educators need to effectively understand and use AI. Thank you!
