True Concurrency can be Traced
In this paper sets of labelled partial orders are employed as fundamental mathematical entities for modelling nondeterministic and concurrent processes thereby obtaining so-called noninterleaving semantics. Based on closures of sets of labelled partial orders, a simple recursive algebraic language with refinement is given denotational models fully abstract w.r.t. corresponding behaviourally mot...
متن کاملWhy several truths can be true
In this paper, we offer a perspective on complementarity, acknowledging that it is not possible for human perception and cognition to grasp reality with unambiguous concepts or theories. Therefore, multiple concepts and perspectives are valid when they are not exaggerated beyond reasonable limits and do not claim exclusive validity. We recommend a humble stance enabling respectful dialogue betw...
متن کاملCan Knowledge Be Justified True Belief?
Knowledge was traditionally held to be justified true belief. This paper examines the implications of maintaining this view if justication is interpreted algorithmically. It is argued that if we move sufficiently far from the small worlds to which Bayesian decision theory properly applies, we can steer between the rock of fallibilism and the whirlpool of skepticism only by explicitly building i...
متن کاملCan the Decoherent Histories Description of Reality be Considered Satisfactory?
In this letter, we discuss some features of the Decoherent Histories approach; more specifically, we put forward four assumptions, the first three of which, according to us, are necessary for a sound interpretation of the theory, while the fourth one is accepted by the supporters of the DH approach. We then prove that such assumptions lead to a logical contradiction and thus cannot hold simulta...
متن کاملThe CREATE project without parietaria pollen: can it be true?
The March issue of Allergy featured an interesting article by Dr van Ree: The CREATE project development of certified reference materials for allergic products and validation of methods for their quantification (1). It represents, in our opinion, a great effort and a decisive step to achieve a shared standardization of allergen extracts for the diagnosis and treatment of allergic disorders. Nev...
