In her recent “Facts about incoherence as non-evidential epistemic reasons,” Eva Schmidt defends the claim that not all reasons are provided by evidence. presents three cases describing agents with incoherent beliefs and argues that, in each case, fact an agent’s provides a reason to suspend judgment on issue about. While I find suggestion facts can play positive roles our cognitive lives intri...

Chimera states have attracted significant attention as symmetry-broken exhibiting the unexpected coexistence of coherence and incoherence. Despite valuable insights gained from analyzing specific systems, an understanding general physical mechanism underlying emergence chimeras is still lacking. Here, we show that many stable arise because in part system sustained by incoherence rest system. Th...

In an earlier paper [1], we found that equations based on the neutral theory of biodiversity enjoyed considerable success in predicting the relaxation times for avifaunal extinctions on isolated habitats. We suggested that the neutral theory of biodiversity might turn out to be a useful tool in conservation biology. However, Clark [2] maintains that our study ‘does not need UNTB, neither does i...

Human judgment is an essential source of Bayesian probabilities but is plagued by incoherence when complex or conditional events are involved. We consider a method for adjusting estimates of chance over Boolean events so as to render them probabilistically coherent. The method works by searching for a sparse distribution that approximates a target set of judgments. (We show that sparse distribu...

An adaptive voting algorithm for digital media was introduced in this study. Availability was improved by incoherence scoring in voting mechanism of MultiModular Redundancy. Regulation parameters give the algorithm flexibility of adjusting priorities in decision process. Proposed adaptive voting algorithm was shown to be more aware of fault status of redundant modules.

Recent developments in ontology learning research have made it possible to generate significantly more expressive ontologies. Novel approaches can support human ontology engineers in rapidly creating logically complex and richly axiomatized schemas. Although the higher complexity increases the likelihood of modeling flaws, there is currently little tool support for diagnosing and repairing onto...
