Physics and the Real World
Physics and chemistry underlie the nature of all the world around us, including human brains. Consequently some suggest that in causal terms, physics is all there is. However we live in an environment dominated by objects embodying the outcomes of intentional design (buildings, computers, teaspoons). The present-day subject of physics has nothing to say about the intentionality resulting in exi...
متن کاملSmog, Cognition and Real-World Decision-Making
Cognitive functioning is critical as in our daily life a host of real-world complex decisions in high-stakes markets have to be made. The decision-making process can be vulnerable to environmental stressors. Summarizing the growing economic and epidemiologic evidence linking air pollution, cognition performance and real-world decision-making, we first illustrate key physiological and psychologi...
متن کاملClasses of small-world networks.
We study the statistical properties of a variety of diverse real-world networks. We present evidence of the occurrence of three classes of small-world networks: (a) scale-free networks, characterized by a vertex connectivity distribution that decays as a power law; (b) broad-scale networks, characterized by a connectivity distribution that has a power law regime followed by a sharp cutoff; and ...
متن کاملAdvocating Ownership
We show the equivalence of deterministic auxiliary push-down automata to owner write PRAMs in a fairly large setting by proving that DAuxPDA-TISP ? f O(1) ; log g and CROW-TIPR ? log f ; g O(1) coincide. Such, we provide the rst circuit characterizations of depth O(log f) for deterministic sequential automata which are f time-bounded.
متن کاملPhysics and the Phenomenal World
The paper challenges the assumption, common amongst philosophers, that the reality described in the fundamental theories of microphysics is all the reality we have. It will be argued that this assumption is in fact incompatible with the nature of such theories. It will be shown further that the macro-world of three-dimensional bodies and of such qualitative structures as colour and sound can be...
