He goes describing type-type identity, a justification that identity is formed on the mind's perception of its surroundings (2014, 162). Jackson goes on to state, “...their being such and such a mental state depends in part on how things are around the subjects in ways that mean that internally identical subjects can be in different mental states.” (2014,162) This follows a correlation back to the case of Franco Magnani in, The Anthropologist on Mars. Franco’s environment may be somehow contributing to his episodal detailed remembrances of Pontito. With Franco trying to understand his own identity, the faulty connection of what his current surroundings behold doesn’t make up for his needs for his identity and is therefore made up by his memory to counter the void of not being “home” anymore.
