I 71
Explanation/behavior/Peacocke: assuming, the spatial relations of a subject determine its settings.
Problem: then we could explain the behavior solely from the accepted beliefs of the subject without mentioning the spatial relations.
>Belief attitudes, >Spatial localization, >Behavior, >Behavioral explanation.
I 81
Narrow explanation/Peacocke: E.g. someone has only the terms "there is an F", "there are two Fs", "There are three Fs" and "the Fs are numerically equivalent to the Gs".
Then operations with higher numbers are explainable with these few terms.
>Numerical equality.
E.g. He actually arranges 20 pebbles and pieces of gold one to one.
Then there is no difference in his intentional actions without one which is formulated with its few terms.
>Intentions.
Problem: such an unstructured ability would then be necessary and a priori. "Numerically equivalent"/numerical equality: can be treated as an unstructured operator of 2nd order.
>Operators, >Description levels, >Levels/order, >Second Order Logic.
I 133ff
Explanation/Peacocke/Nozick: must rely on the nature of the object, not on the manner of givenness. - ((s) intension: is virtually equated with appearance- "nature" with "real object".)
>Way of givenness, >Intensions.
I 185
Action explanation/Peacocke: by properties of objects - explanation of thoughts: by specific markings - better: by the object itself.

I 192
Action explanation/Peacocke: in the case of properties no specific object is meant: E.g. "red lamp", not "John's favorite color" - demonstrative: specific object, descriptively: can also be another object.
