This PR addresses the confusion between computational concepts and psychological processes in the repository by adding clear distinctions and explanatory documentation.
Problem
The repository contains a mix of psychology content and computational examples (BrainFuck programming language, Coq formal proofs, etc.) without clear distinctions, potentially leading to confusion where computational terminology might be mistaken for psychological processes.
Solution
Added comprehensive clarifications throughout the repository:
1. Created
COMPUTATIONAL_CLARITY.mdA dedicated documentation file that explains:
2. Updated
README.md3. Enhanced other files
假惺惺.mdfor BrainFuck sectionPsychological Invariants.vexplaining it contains computational modeling, not psychological processes themselves4. Repository maintenance
.gitignoreto prevent build artifacts in future commits__pycache__filesImpact
These changes prevent conceptual confusion by clearly distinguishing when content represents:
The repository now makes it clear that computation can be used as a tool to study psychology, but computational processes should not be conflated with psychological processes themselves.
Fixes #27.
