Discerning Fermions
We demonstrate that the quantum-mechanical description of composite physical systems of an arbitrary number of similar fermions in all their admissible states, mixed or pure, for all finite-dimensional Hilbert-spaces, is not in conflict with Leibniz’s Principle of the Identity of Indiscernibles (PII). We discern the fermions by means of physically meaningful, permutation-invariant categorical r...
متن کاملCreating discerning users
As technology progresses, we are still surrounded by complex and difficult-to-use systems. Usability engineering appears to have had little impact on practice. Why is this, and what can be done to contribute to improving system design? This paper surveys the pervasive culture of unusability, and proposes that HCI should promote public understanding of science. A particular proposal is also put ...
متن کاملDiscerning Emotions in Texts
We present an empirically verified model of discernable emotions, Watson and Tellegen’s Circumplex Theory of Affect from social and personality psychology, and suggest its usefulness in NLP as a potential model for an automation of an eight-fold categorization of emotions in written English texts. We developed a data collection tool based on the model, collected 287 responses from 110 non-exper...
متن کاملDiscerning Elementary Particles
We extend the quantum-mechanical results of Muller & Saunders (2008) establishing the weak discernibility of an arbitrary number of similar fermions in finite-dimensional Hilbert-spaces in two ways: (a) from fermions to bosons for all finite-dimensional Hilbert-spaces; and (b) from finite-dimensional to infinitedimensional Hilbert-spaces for all elementary particles. In both cases this is perfo...
متن کاملDiscerning “indistinguishable” quantum systems
In a series of recent papers, Simon Saunders, Fred Muller and Michael Seevinck have collectively argued, against the folklore, that some non-trivial version of Leibniz’s principle of the identity of indiscernibles is upheld in quantum mechanics. They argue that all particles—fermions, paraparticles, anyons, even bosons—may be weakly discerned by some physical relation. Here I show that their ar...
