Abstract: Mental states represent the world in systematically different ways, encoding contents in multiple "codes" or "formats." For example, some mental states are thought to be image-like, others sentence-like; some analog, others symbolic. The interface problem concerns how agents can coordinate contents across different mental codes. The standard assumption is that interfaces incur distinctive costs: translation from one format to another is explanatorily mysterious and computationally difficult.

Health Assessment is a free, confidential health screening provided through Duke benefits. It includes total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, BMI, waist circumference height, weight and body mass index measurements. Additionally, there is a goal setting and referral session with a nurse, dietitian, or fitness specialist. Many participants find the coaching session helps them get started making lifestyle changes and connects them to LIVE FOR LIFE and community resources to support them. Health Assessments are available to all active Duke employees.

Evolving photography and filmmaking ultimately escaped missionary molds, coloring Chinese engagements with the world alongside US views of modern East Asia.
