Stochastic Monotonicity and Realizable Monotonicity
We explore and relate two notions of monotonicity, stochastic and realizable, for a system of probability measures on a common finite partially ordered set (poset) S when the measures are indexed by another poset A. We give counterexamples to show that the two notions are not always equivalent, but for various large classes of S we also present conditions on the poset A that are necessary and s...
متن کاملMutability, Conceptual Transformation, and Context
Features differ in their mutability. For example, a robin could still be a robin even if it lacked a red breast; but it would probably not count as one if it lacked bones. I have hypothesized (Love & Sloman, 1995) that features are immutable to the extent other features depend on them. We can view a feature's mutability as a measure of transformational difficulty. In deriving new concepts, we o...
متن کاملWitnessing Purity, Constancy and Mutability
Restricting destructive update to values of a distinguished reference type prevents functions from being polymorphic in the mutability of their arguments. This restriction makes it easier to reason about program behaviour during transformation, but the lack of polymorphism reduces the expressiveness of the language. We present a System-F style core language that uses dependently kinded proof wi...
متن کاملMutability of prions
Murine prions transferred from brain to cultured cells gradually adapt to the new environment. Brain-derived 22L prions can infect neuroblastoma-derived PK1 cells in the presence of swainsonine (swa); that is, they are 'swa resistant'. PK1 cell-adapted 22L prions are swa sensitive; however, propagation in swa results in selection of swa-resistant substrains. Cloned, PK1 cell-adapted 22L prions ...
متن کاملFact Mutability in Counterfactual Reasoning
Recent work on the interpretation of counterfactual conditionals has given much attention to the role of causal independencies. One influential idea from the theory of Causal Bayesian Networks is that counterfactual assumptions are made by intervention on variables, leaving all of their causal non-descendants unaffected. But intervention is not applicable across the board. For instance, backtra...
