Abstract
Clark & Thornton speculate that intervening int he real world might be
a way of transforming type-2 problems into type-1, but they state tha
t they are not aware of any definite cases. It is argued that the acti
ve construction of external representations often performs exactly thi
s function, and that recoding via the real world is therefore common,
if not ubiquitous.
