Python is a modern scripting language that has embraced a largely objectoriented framework, but has also supported a number of functional programming constructs. In previous work, we introduced extensions to increase the functional programming capabilities of the language and we also introduced a novel purely-python module that implemented a logic programming style pseudo-syntax. That module wa...

Central to quantum theory is the concept of complementarity. In this essay, we argue that complementarity is also central to the emerging field of quantum cognition. We review the concept, its historical roots in psychology, and its development in quantum physics and offer examples of how it can be used to understand human cognition. The concept of complementarity provides a valuable and fresh ...

Reintroducing Credal Networks under Epistemic Irrelevance

A credal network under epistemic irrelevance is a generalised version of a Bayesian network that loosens its two main building blocks. On the one hand, the local probabilities do not have to be specified exactly. On the other hand, the assumptions of independence do not have to hold exactly. Conceptually, these credal networks are elegant and useful. However, in practice, they have long remaine...

Reintroducing resurrected species: selecting DeExtinction candidates.

Technological advances have raised the controversial prospect of resurrecting extinct species. Species DeExtinction should involve more than the production of biological orphans to be scrutinized in the laboratory or zoo. If DeExtinction is to realize its stated goals of deep ecological enrichment, then resurrected animals must be translocated (i.e., released within suitable habitat). Therefore...
