Abstract Involution Schubert polynomials represent cohomology classes of K -orbit closures in the complete flag variety, where is orthogonal or symplectic group. We show they also $\mathsf {T}$ -equivariant subvarieties defined by upper-left rank conditions spaces symmetric skew-symmetric matrices. This geometry implies that these are positive combinations monomials variables $x_i + x_j$ , and ...

It is said that there are 100,000 words in the English language, and before I read Philip Mirowski’s Machine Dreams (MD) I thought I knew 90,000 of them. Now, following this encounter, I feel that, at last, I have control of the whole English vocabulary! I start with this joke because it exemplifies in many ways the nature of this book. The way Mirowski shifts between different linguistic level...

Counterfactual cognitive simulations are considerations of what might have been if what actually happened could be undone. I hypothesize that counterfactual thought is characteristic of dreams and that cognitive operations in dreams function to identify a norm violation recorded in autobiographical memory and then to re-instate normality in memory by generating counterfactuals to the violation....

The nature of the relationship between thought organization and primary process was explored by correlating clinical indicators of thought disorder on the Rorschach and formal primary process mechanisms in the dreams of 14 parents of schizophrenics recorded during a two-week period. The relationship between variability of primary process intensity and the Thought Disorder Index produced a negat...

When we understand the nature and technology in hands it is possible to create and simulate many unusual things. In this regard, with information about science of dreams, its nature and the image processing technology, it is possible to simulate the dream like patterns which can be implemented to robots for improving its intelligence. The model proposed in this paper is based on the concept tha...

A self-ideal-self trait discrepancy, identified from Q sorts for 19 subjects, was used as a presleep stimulus. Subjects were instructed to wish to change their trait so as to reduce the discrepancy. Dream reports were collected for each rapid eye movement (REM) period that followed. A blind judge rated the target trait as present in the dreams of a significant number of the subjects. Two other ...

Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia manifested by vivid, often frightening dreams associated with simple or complex motor behavior during REM sleep. Patients appear to "act out their dreams," in which the exhibited behaviors mirror the content of the dreams. Management of RBD involves counseling about safety measures in the sleep environment; in those at risk ...

This paper shows how the dream archive and search engine on DreamBank.net, a Web site containing over 22,000 dream reports, can be used to generate new findings on dream content, some of which raise interesting questions about the relationship between dreaming and various forms of waking thought. It begins with studies that draw dream reports from DreamBank.net for studies of social networks in...
