A default theory can sanction diierent, mutually incompatible , answers to certain queries. We can identify each such theory with a set of related credulous theories, each of which produces but a single response to each query, by imposing a total ordering on the defaults. Our goal is to identify the credulous theory with optimal \expected accuracy" averaged over the natural distribution of quer...

Inflaton field governed universe from NKK theory of gravity: stochastic approach. Abstract We study a nonperturbative single field (inflaton) governed cosmological model from a 5D Noncompact Kaluza-Klein (NKK) theory of gravity. The inflaton field fluctuations are estimated for different epochs of the evolution of the universe. We conclude that the inflaton field has been sliding down its (quad...
