Not "whoever", we are talking specifically about Alice. Is Alice's preference for cabernet part of Alice's world model?
I have a feeling we're getting into the snake-eating-its-own-tail loops. If Alice's preferences are part of Alice's world model then Alice's world model is part of Alice's world model as well. Recurse until you're are reduced to praying to the Holy Trinity of Godel, Escher, and Bach :-)
Could it? You are saying that value judgments must be a part of. Are there "elements of" which do not contain value judgements?
That strikes me as a question for dictionary writers. If we agree that Newton's laws of motion constitute such an element, then clearly, there are such elements that do not not contain value judgements.
iff she perceives that preference.
I'm not sure this follows by logical necessity, but how is this unusual? When I mention Newton's laws, am I not implicitly aware that I have this world model? Does my world model, therefore, not include some description of my world model? How is this relevant?
