conformality

This 'conformality' account of mental representation is for Aquinas embedded in a much larger, causal theory of the reception of these forms into the mind or intellectual soul, according to which forms are transmitted through the intervening medium between subject and object

Scotus's idea is to treat the thing that does the representing as a mental act or concept, which ontologically speaking is an accident of the mind (a substantial form), and the thing represented as the form of the object thought about (which is why this is still a conformality account of mental representation).

Another famous problem has to do with the nature of conformality itself.

The debate centered on two fundamentally different theories of thought, namely the ˜Aristotelian™ or conformality view and the non-Aristotelian inherence view.

The standard way to reconcile the conformality theory and the resemblance theory is to take the mind's possession of a concept to be its ability to transform itself through the inherence of a form, construing formal identity as natural likeness, where having a form in the mind that is identical to the form of the object understood just is to have a mental image of that very object.

Since the ˜aboutness™ of understanding is analyzed as the commonness or identity of form in the understanding and the thing understood, we may call this approach the conformality theory of understanding.

Peter Abelard King, Peter 2004

Duns Scotus builds on Aquinas's theory of mental representation, taking the conformality view a step further by introducing a distinction between the thing representing and the thing represented.

Despite their common Aristotelian heritage, the conformality theory and the resemblance theory are not equivalent.

Spacer films used in a double patterning scheme need to demonstrate excellent conformality with no loading effects that cause line "bending," and yet deliver outstanding within-wafer patterning uniformity.
