 A second worry has to do with the fact that  RES+REU  appears to be too liberal. Take this case. Yesterday, Angelina had the visual experience of a red apple. On the night of June 15, 1815, Napoleon conjured up the visual image of a red apple. Angelina used her visual mechanism to see, while Napoleon reused his to imagine. If we add to this that Napoleon’s mental state resembled Angelina’s,  RES+REU  predicts that Napoleon’s (token) visual image was a mental simulation of Angelina’s (token) visual experience. This might strike one as utterly bizarre. In fact, not only did Napoleon not intend to simulate Angelina’s experience: he could not even have intended to do it. After all, Angelina was born roughly 150 years after Napoleon’s death. By the same token, it is also impossible that Napoleon’s visual image has been caused by Angelina’s visual experience. As a matter of fact, the visual image Napoleon had on the night of June 15, 1815 is entirely disconnected from the visual experience that Angelina had yesterday. Thus, how could the former be a mental simulation of the latter? If you think about it, the problem is even worse than this.  RES+REU  has it that Napoleon’s visual image of a red apple is a mental simulation of all the visual experiences of a red apple that have obtained in the past, that are currently obtaining, and that will obtain in the future. Isn’t that absurd?
