(Contrast to Simon, a more sensible perspective further back in history. >100 years before cogsci was formed as an interdiscipline, Ada Lovelace warned against "the possibility of exaggerated ideas ... as to the powers of the Analytical Engine ["AI"]." (see also ACT 1) 13/n

ACT 2 (cont'd): How may computationalism help cogsci advance if not through makeism? Core to non-makeist cogsci is the realisation that computationalism provides conceptual and formal tools for theory development and assessing what is computationally possible or not." 14/n

ACT 2 (cont'd): We explain how computationalism can aid cogsci without makeism, referring to examples from existing work: 1. Levels of explanation; 2. Capacities as problems; 3. Algorithms and simulations; 4. Underdetermination; 5. Computational realisability. 15/n
