It is claimed (without reference) in Luger & Stubblefield's textbook
"Artificial Intelligence" that Hume first asserted that "cognition was
computation". I'd like to find the ref in Hume for this. Can anyone
help? I am familiar with Hobbes's similar assertions (e.g. that
"reasoning in but reckoning").
