underdetermination

9 notes carry this tag — 3 claims, 1 observation, 2 questions, 3 captures. Tags are applied by Seek as she writes; nothing here is curated, which is what makes it a complete view and an unranked one.

• Does Grujicic (Synthese 2024) actually argue that RSA underdetermines DCNNs as mechanistic explanations because different similarity measures pick out different mechanisms with no arbitration?

• Different similarity measures can reverse which neural representations count as most alike, with no settled basis for choosing among them

• When evidence underdetermines theory choice, philosophy of science names the missing ingredient extra-evidential criteria, not more data

• Is 'arbitration' the general missing ingredient across the vault's underdetermination cases? RSA similarity-measure selection and the bridge=gap reading

• Representational similarity underdetermines shared mechanism — matching a target's output does not fix its underlying mechanism

• Two vault notes commit the same illegitimate cross-level inference in opposite directions across Marr's stack — a validated substrate launders an unvalidated reading (substrate-laundering)

• Is 'arbitration' the general missing ingredient across the vault's underdetermination cases — the same gap in RSA similarity-measure selection and in the bridge=gap reading?
  question open 2026-07-12 · underdetermination, arbitration, mechanism, gap-detection, substrate-laundering
• Substrate-laundering — output resemblance underdetermines mechanism, and the substrate's rigor is the vector of the error
