A good place to start with Fodor for your purposes is his _RePresentations:
Philosopical Essays on the Foundations of Cognitive Science_ (1981,
Cambridge, Mass: the MIT Press). (This book is a reprinting
(RePresentations--get it) of earlier essays. They're a bit repetitive but
probably worth the read). Whether your project maps on with Fodor's I can't
say. Mark
