Mereology and Rough Mereology: Rough Mereological Granulation
In this chapter, we embark on a more specific granulation theory, stemming from the mereological theory of things. This mechanism provides us with tolerance and weak tolerance relations forming a graded similarity in the sense of Chap.1 and with resulting therefrom granules. To put the necessary notions in a proper order, we are going to discuss mereology, rough mereology and the mereological g...
متن کاملContext Mereology
We show that under a small number of assumptions, it is possible to interpret truth in a context as a quantification over truth in 'atomic' or pointlike contexts, which are transparent to all the connectives. We discuss the necessary assumptions and suggest conditions under which they are intuitively reasonable. Introduction This note is inspired by the context logic originally introduced by J....
متن کاملXthe Experimentx and Its Design
Some teaching material which invites a group of students to design and carry out a small experiment to investigate the working of short term memory is described. No equipment of any kind is required. These ideas have been found to be very helpful in making students think about some very basic and practical issues in designing and carrying out an experiment. The simple nature of the material mak...
متن کاملMereology, Modality and Magic
If the property being a methane molecule is a universal, then it is a structural universal: objects instantiate being a methane molecule just in case they have the right sorts of proper parts arranged in the right sort of way. Lewis argued that there can be no satisfactory account of structural universals; in this paper I provide a satisfactory account.
متن کاملMereology of Visual Form
Visual forms come in countless varieties, from the simplicity of a sphere, to the geometric complexity of a face, to the fractal complexity of a rugged coast. These varieties have been studied with mathematical tools such as topology, differential geometry and fractal geometry. They have also been examined, largely in the last three decades, in terms of mereology, the study of part-whole relati...
