The"Hard Problem"of Life
There are few open problems in science as perplexing as the nature of life and consciousness. At present, we do not have many scientific windows into either. In the case of consciousness, it seems evident that certain aspects will ultimately defy reductionist explanation, the most important being the phenomenon of qualia – roughly speaking our subjective experience as observers. It is a priori ...
متن کاملThe Hard Problem of Cooperation
Based on individual variation in cooperative inclinations, we define the "hard problem of cooperation" as that of achieving high levels of cooperation in a group of non-cooperative types. Can the hard problem be solved by institutions with monitoring and sanctions? In a laboratory experiment we find that the answer is affirmative if the institution is imposed on the group but negative if develo...

متن کاملThe Minimal Disagreement Parity Problem as a Hard Satisfiability Problem
One common approach to generating hard instances for SAT algorithms is to encode other NP-complete problems into SAT. An obvious problem with this approach is that many NP-complete problems are trivially solvable in the average case [4]. One solution to this problem is to choose problem classes which are randomly self-reducible. As we show in section 3, randomly self-reducible problems are as h...
متن کاملFinding Hard Instances of the Satisfiability Problem
Finding sets of hard instances of propositional satissability is of interest for understanding the complexity of SAT, and for experimentally evaluating SAT algorithms. In discussing this we consider the performance of the most popular SAT algorithms on random problems, the theory of average case complexity, the threshold phenomenon, known lower bounds for certain classes of algorithms, and the ...
