A note on the transitivity of parthood
That parthood is a transitive relation is among the most basic principles of classical mereology. Alas, it is also very controversial. In a recent paper, Ingvar Johansson has put forward a novel diagnosis of the problem, along with a corresponding solution. The diagnosis is on the right track, I argue, but the solution is misleading. And once the pieces are properly put together, we end up with...
متن کاملA note on the transitivity of step-indexed logical relations
We present and discuss a simple semantic approach to force step-indexed logical relations to be transitive.
متن کاملA Note on Incompleteness, Transitivity and Suzumura Consistency
Rationality does not require of preferences that they be complete. Nor therefore that they be transitive: Suzumura consistency suffi ces. This paper examines the implications of these claims for the theory of rational choice. I propose a new choice rule Strong Maximality and argue that it better captures rational preference-based choice than other more familiar rules. Suzumura consistency of pr...
متن کاملA Note on Transitivity, Completeness and Suzumura Consistency
What is required of the agent who makes her choices on the basis of her preferences? What can be inferred about an agent’s preferences from the choices she makes? In considering these questions, it is worth distinguishing between the choices that are permissable given her preferences, those that are mandatory and those that she actually makes. Rationality does not generally require that agents ...
متن کاملA Note on Vertex Transitivity in Isomorphic Graphs
In the graph theory, two graphs are said to be isomorphic if there is a one-one, onto mapping defined between their set of vertices so as to preserving the adjacency between vertices. An isomorphism defined on a vertex set of a graph to itself is called automorphism of the given graph. Two vertices in a graph are said to be similar if there is an automorphism defined on its vertex set mapping o...
