Description
Summary:	The article offers the author's insights regarding the philosophical argument of the parity principle. The author mentions Andy Clark's book "Supersizing the Mind: Embodiment, Action, and Cognitive Extension" which explores the concept of extended mechanisms of mental cognition. He negates Clark's extended cognitive task with his argument that the parity principle follows a benchmark system for cognitive traits and external elements which are based on a theory-loaded construction.
