Interpretation/argument/Frith: the fact that the evidence is ambiguous does not mean that there is no correct interpretation.
>Ambiguity, >Unambiguity, >Correctness, >Interpretation.

When our brain conceals the ambiguity, it presents only one interpretation.
I 194
Movement/interpretation/objective/intention/Frith: in movements, the internal models are the goals of the action.
Problem: movements are ambiguous, e.g. I can go to the bakery next door or to Patagonia.
>Motion/Frith.
I 195
Movement/interpretation: e.g. the person opposite me should repeat everything I do. I raise my left hand, the other person raises the right. Is this a mistake?
E.g. I take my right hand and touch my left ear, the other person takes the left and touches his/her left ear. Is this a mistake?
N.B.: now to the correct test: in the middle of the table is a big red button. I lean forward and touch it with my forehead. What the other person is doing depends on my hands: if I have chained hands, but the other person does not, he/she will use his/her hands, when I have free hands, the other person will use his/her head.
I 197
Movement/imitation/interpretation/Frith: for example, a subject should move the arms rhythmically up and down while they are watching another person, moving the arms rhythmically sideways.
This shows that we unconsciously tend to imitate others.
N.B.: when the person moving sideways was replaced by a robot, the unconscious imitation did not happen.
>Imitation.
I 198
Movement/action/brain/interpretation/Frith: thesis: in the robot the brain registers only movements, but no actions.
>Actions, >Intentionality.
