Abstract
Blokpoel reminds us of the importance of consistency of function across Marr’s levels, but we argue that the approach to ensuring consistency that he advocates — a strict relation through exact implementation of the higher-level function at the lower level — is unnecessarily restrictive. We show that it forces over-complication of the computational level (by requiring it to incorporate concerns from lower-levels) and results in the sacrifice of the distinct responsibilities associated with each level. We propose an alternative, no less rigorous, potential characterisation of the relation between levels.
