Worlds Without Words
This paper points out a deficiency in virtual worlds as they are envisioned today. Several of the more important aspects of human communicative behavior are missing, since there is no way to accommodate natural linguistic interaction with and through the interface. We point out some explicit cases where natural language interaction would be useful in a VR framework, and identify some areas wher...
متن کاملPossibilities Without Possible Worlds/Histories
The paper puts forward a theory of historical modalities that is framed in terms of possible continuations rather than possible worlds or histories. The proposal is tested as a semantical theory for a language with historical modalities, tenses, and indexicals.

The lipid bilayer membrane, which is the foundation of life on Earth, is not viable outside of biology based on liquid water. This fact has caused astronomers who seek conditions suitable for life to search for exoplanets within the "habitable zone," the narrow band in which liquid water can exist. However, can cell membranes be created and function at temperatures far below those at which wate...
متن کاملAdrian Miroiu WORLDS WITHIN WORLDS

Possible worlds leave nothing unsettled: for any question one may ask, there is always an answer, yes or no. My view goes along the opposite side. I take possible worlds to be incredibly poor, and I think that a good deal can be added to them. The ...
متن کاملConstructing Hereditary Worlds Within Worlds
Although they appear unrelated, the type system of the polymorphic λ-calculus with references and the assertions of concurrent separation logic with first-class locks share a critical feature: an unsound contravariant circularity in their naı̈ve semantic model. We developed indirection theory to automatically construct, and cleanly axiomatize, step-indexed approximations to these naı̈ve models, a...
