چکیده
We expose the foundations of simple theories in a straightforward way including many improved proofs which can only be found scattered in the specialized literature. We start with general model theory and finish with the proof of the independence theorem.

Role of Simplicity in Creative Behaviour: The Case of the Poietic Generator
We propose to apply Simplicity Theory (ST) to model interest in creative situations. ST has been designed to describe and predict interest in communication. Here we use ST to derive a decision rule that we apply to a simplified version of a creative game, the Poietic Generator. The decision rule produces what can be regarded as an elementary form of creativity. This study is meant as a proof of...
متن کاملFully simplified multivariate normal updates in non-conjugate variational message passing
Fully simplified expressions for Multivariate Normal updates in non-conjugate variational message passing approximate inference schemes are obtained. The simplicity of these expressions means that the updates can be achieved very efficiently. Since the Multivariate Normal family is the most common for approximating the joint posterior density function of a continuous parameter vector, these ful...
متن کاملSimplified fixed implant prosthetics.
This article discusses a “simplified fixed implant prosthetics” (SFIP) protocol that offers the entire implant team simplicity and increased predictability for fixed implant prosthetics.1 The restorative dentist only has to take a crown and bridge impression to provide the final fixed implant prosthesis. The protocol involves the implant surgeon following a 2-step process of making an index imp...
متن کامل(Title) Voluntary simplicity: An exploration of market interactions
Voluntary simplicity is often considered to be a sustainable lifestyle phenomenon buttressed by environment-friendly consumption practices. Voluntary simplicity is shaped by the individual as well as society, and marketplace interactions often impact voluntarily simplified approaches to consumption. Pertinent, therefore, is a consideration of how voluntary simplifiers negotiate the tensions bet...
متن کاملA Simplified Excel® Algorithm for Estimating the Least Limiting Water Range of Soils
The least limiting water range (LLWR) of soils has been employed as a methodological approach for evaluation of soil physical quality in different agricultural systems, including forestry, grasslands and major crops. However, the absence of a simplified methodology for the quantification of LLWR has hampered the popularization of its use among researchers and soil managers. Taking this into acc...
