Abstract
My paper offers a critique of some of the key assumptions that are prevalent in research and related work in informatics. Many of these have had a constraining effect on conceptual progress in the field, and particularly in areas that seek to include cognition. I deal with the rationalist and realist assumptions, and what has been termed the functionalist view of representation.
