ABSTRACT
Introduction
This paper argues that we can determine the contents of the neural substrates that support implicit beliefs by considering the history of the substrates and their role within the system. Both artificial and biological neural substrates are examined with the goal of showing that structures at the neural level can carry informational content about the types of events which caused them. A brief discussion of the conditions under which states carry information content is given, followed by a sketch of why neural networks carry implicit content, and finally a brief case for implicit content in wetware is made.
