What is a reductive theory if truth going to reduce sentences to, if not words? Since when were meaning and truth unrelated?

I have already said that correspondence is unmagical. My point is that the naive theory, and we don't have a reductive theory that can deal with the hard cases. You haven't presented one.

If you are going to say that chunking arises from perception, you have already taken a step away from the fully naive theory.

How potential chunks get turned into actual chunks needs explaining.
