The limits of brain determinacy.
The genes do not control everything that happens in a cell or an organism, because thermally induced molecular movements and conformation changes are beyond genetic control. The importance of uncontrolled events has been argued from the differences between isogenic organisms reared in virtually identical environments, but these might alternatively be attributed to subtle, undetected differences...
متن کاملThe Limits of Determinacy in Second Order Arithmetic
We establish the precise bounds for the amount of determinacy provable in second order arithmetic. We show that for every natural number n, second order arithmetic can prove that determinacy holds for Boolean combinations of n many Π3 classes, but it cannot prove that all finite Boolean combinations of Π3 classes are determined. More specifically, we prove that Πn+2-CA0 ` n-Π3-DET, but that ∆n+...
متن کاملDeterminacy and determinacy analysis
One attractive, unique feature of logic programming languages is their ability to succinctly and declaratively express search. The alternatives of a search can be speci ed by a set of clauses de ning the same predicate. By backtracking, considering in turn each of these clauses, the di erent alternatives are explored until a solution (if it exists) is found. However, though backtracking is esse...
متن کاملThe Limits of Determinacy in Second Order Arithmetic: Consistency and Complexity Strength
We prove that determinacy for all Boolean combinations of Fσδ (Π 0 3) sets implies the consistency of second-order arithmetic and more. Indeed, it is equivalent to the statement saying that for every set X and every number n, there exists a β-model of Πn-comprehension containing X. We prove this result by providing a careful level-by-level analysis of determinacy at the finite level of the diff...
متن کاملThe Variable Determinacy Thesis
This Article proposes a novel technique for characterizing the relative determinacy of legal decision-making. I begin with the observation that the determinacy of legal outcomes varies from context to context within the law. To augment this intuition, I develop a theoretical model of determinate legal decision-making. This model aims to capture the essential features that are typically associat...
