The paper defends an Aristotelian notion of indeterminism, as rigorously formulated in the framework of branching space-times (BST) of Belnap (1992), against criticism by Earman (2008) based on a model-theoretic characterization of indeterminism. It delineates BST branching against the background provided by Earman’s (2008) distinction between individual vs. ensemble branching. Partly in order ...

The homotopy Lie (L∞) categorification of D-particle field theory in the method of gauged S-duality spontaneous breakdown is investigated. We show the non-trivial definition of the D-particle fields category and give explicit formulae for its higher composition structures. As a result, we can recognize the physical significance of D-particle fields for determinism and undeterminism.

Reviewing the general representation of a stochastic local hidden variables theory in the context of an ideal Bohm's version of the EPR experiment, we show explicitly that the violation of Bell's locality condition is due to the assumption of " outcome independence " at the hidden variables level. Also, we show that if we introduce determinism, the assumption of outcome independence will be all...

this paper examines the relationship between environmental law and intellectual property law in light of international documents and procedures. the key question raised here is the role of intellectual property law in conservation of global environment. in this regard, we can express two general approaches: the neutral theory of intellectual property right and the systemic theory of intellectua...
