Modularity reconsidered

An orthodoxy in classical cognitive science is that representation is symbolic and that functional architecture is modular. That modular theory is the cornerstone of Cognitive Neuropsychology (CN), which identifies functionally discrete neurocomputational entities by observing psychological disorder. While the symbolic theory of representation is optional for CN, the modular hypothesis is essen...

Algebras defined by homomorphisms

Let $mathcal{R}$ be a  commutative ring with identity, let $A$ and $B$ be two $mathcal{R}$-algebras and $varphi:Blongrightarrow A$ be an $mathcal{R}$-additive algebra homomorphism. We introduce a new algebra $Atimes_varphi B$, and give some basic properties of this algebra. Generalized $2$-cocycle derivations on $Atimes_varphi B$ are studied. Accordingly, $Atimes_varphi B$ is considered from th...
