Briefly, coherence is "a matter of finding or constructing intelligible connections or links or mutual support among them and of removing relations of opposition or conflict" (Richardson 1994, 144).
This philosophy had taken the communication of motion by contact or impulse as the paradigm of an a priori rationally intelligible causal connection, to which all other instances of causal connection must be reduced.
But what is most important for our present purposes is that, according to Miller, 'the existence of these appraising attitudes makes intelligible the connection between a desert judgment and its basis' (89).
Hume construes necessity to mean the same as causal connection (or rather, intelligible causal connection), as he himself analyzes this notion in his own theory of causation: either the "constant union and conjunction of like objects," or that together with "the inference of the mind from the one to the other" (ibid).
Kant's Principle of Succession makes change intelligible: change occurs because of substantial connections ([substantiae] cum aliis connexae sunt); the mutual dependency of substances determines mutual alterations (prop. 12, 1 411.18 200).
In the context of such a hierarchical model of speech comprehension, a more plausible explanation is that increased phase locking of oscillations in auditory cortex to intelligible speech reflects the numerous efferent auditory connections that provide input to auditory cortex from secondary auditory areas and beyond (Hackett et al. 1999, 2007; de la Mothe et al. 2006).
Why does there need to be a company in between two devices speaking mutually intelligible data to each other over a secure connection?
Only data from the intelligible speech (Sp) condition were used to determine connection strength, resulting in between six and eight regional cerebral blood flow measurements per subject for each region of interest.
A third cognitive process William mentions, conjunction or connection, is concerned not with the acquisition of intelligible forms, but rather with how knowledge of one thing brings with it knowledge of another.
The question that the genuine historian asks is not "what kind of event usually precedes the event that I am trying to explain?" but "what reasons make the action intelligible?" In other words the historian is concerned with rational connections rather than with inductive generalisations.
The active intellect is immaterial, but the acquired intellect has some connection to matter "because it perfects (mutammim) the material intelligibles" (Ibn Bâjja 1946, p. 19, l. 10).
