7. '''Information Encapsulation'''. Due to the different codes in which representations of various types are written, one cognitive system cannot share information with another cognitive system. Associated representations of different types can only be associated and coactivated during online processing.

8. '''Language versus Linguistic'''. Human '''language''' development and use comes from product of the online interaction of ''all'' cognitive systems'''. However, it qualifies as ''human language'' by virtue of one, or two (depending the linguistic-theoretical perspective adopted,) functionally specialized systems that have evolved specifically to handle '''linguistic''' structure.

9. '''Acquisition by Processing'''. Change (development, acquisition) occurs as a result of online processing. This principle is reflected in the following statement: ''acquisition is the lingering effect of processing'' (Truscott and Sharwood Smith 2004a) <ref>Truscott, J & M. Sharwood Smith. (2004a).
