Beyond Reductionism Twice: No Laws Entail Biosphere Evolution, Formal Cause Laws Beyond Efficient Cause Laws
Newton set the stage for our view of how science should be done. We remain in what I will call the “Newtonian Paradigm in all of physics, including Newton, Einstein, and Schrodinger. As I will show shortly, Newton invented and bequeathed to us “efficient cause entailing laws” for the entire becoming of the universe.

The paper attempts to analyze this debate in light of the context of Christian moral education and puts forth ...
متن کاملWarped infinitely divisible cascades: beyond power laws
We address the definitions and synthesis of stochastic processes which possess warped scaling laws that depart from power law behaviors in a controlled manner. We define warped infinitely divisible cascading (IDC) noise, motion and random walk. We provide a theoretical derivation of the scaling behavior of the moments of their increments. We provide numerical simulations of a warped log-Normal ...
