Does ignorance of the whole imply ignorance of the parts?
In this appendix, we provide a detailed derivation of our results. To this end, we first provide some more detailed background on the entropic quantities we use in Section I. In Section II we show that the splitting inequality (16) is satisfied in any deterministic non-contextual hidden variable model (NC-HV model for short). This is a minor twist on the existing classical proof [1] due to Wull...

In formal systems that reason about knowledge, inferring that an agent actually does not know a particular fact can be problematic. Collins [l] has shown that there are many different modes of reasoning that a subject can use to show that he is ignorant of something; some of these, for example, involve the subject reasoning about the limitations of his own information-gathering and memory abili...

DISULFIDE bonds in proteins—how these bonds are formed, how they are cleaved, and how they participate in protein folding—have become my passion over the past 25 years. During this period, the discoveries in my lab in this very biochemical realm have come largely from genetic approaches. Many factors have influenced the pace of our progress, including at times ignorance of certain biochemical d...

At that time most people understood the severe limitations of medicine, but today doctors are viewed as having enormous power. Medical research is seen by the public as the 'most scientific' form of scientific research (1); television p...
متن کاملThe Ignorance of Bourbaki
If one looks at the history of mathematics, one sees periods of bursting creativity, when new ideas are being developed in a competitive and therefore very hasty spirit; and periods when people find that the ideas so recently in vogue are inexact, incoherent, possibly inconsistent; in such periods there is an urge to consolidate past achievements. I said " the history of mathematics " : but mat...
