%T Structure and Dynamics in Implementation of Computations
%X Without a proper restriction on mappings, virtually any
system could be seen as implementing any computation. That
would not allow characterization of systems in terms of
implemented computations and is not compatible with a
computationalist philosophy of mind. Information-based criteria for independence of substates within structured states are proposed as a solution. Objections to the use of requirements for transitions in counterfactual states are addressed, in part using the partial-brain argument as a general counterargument to neural replacement arguments.
