Case (2) is also cognitive, even though it is a physical rotation and not mental rotation like case (1) and (3) it is not fundamentally different. Since with the rotation button, case (2) displays the same sort of computational structure as case (3). The difference between case (2) and (3) is that the computational structure is spread across the person and the computer, case (2) being external while case (3) is internalised within the person. If case (3) is similar to case (1) and the rotating of the shapes is through the neural implant still counts as a cognitive process, then there is no reason of denying that the rotating method in case (2) would also count as a cognitive process, or as part of a cognitive process. As previously stated, the computational structure in case (2) is the same as case (3) and although in case (3) the computational structure is internalised within the person, nothing else of significance seems different according to Clark and
