We study the influence of relativity on chaotic properties and dynamical outcomes an unstable triple system; Pythagorean three-body problem. To this end, we extend brutus N-body code to include post-Newtonian pairwise terms up 2.5 order, first order Taylor expansion Einstein-Infeld-Hoffmann equations motion. The degree which our system is relativistic depends scaling total mass (the unit size w...

This paper introduces the Circular Restricted n-Body Problem (CRNBP), an extension of bicircular restricted four-body problem (BCR4BP) designed to describe dynamics n-body system. In CRNBP, each massive body in system is constrained follow a Keplerian motion, similar BCR4BP's artificial constraint. The CRNBP efficient alternative for trajectory design multiple-body systems, particularly outer p...

II. The denial of strict psychophysical laws would not undermine the claim that mental events are causally efficacious. § The three premisses from which AM is derived: (1) that mental events are causally related to physical events (2) that singular causal relations are backed by strict laws (3) that there are no strict psycho-physical laws ⇒ AM + P § "supervenience" ___ a predicate p is superve...

JERRY A. FODOR Jerry A. Fodor is professor of philosophy at Rutgers University. He is renowned for defending the view that we think in an inner language, akin to the symbolic codes used in ordinary computers. Fodor's highly influential works include The Language of Thought, The Modularity of Mind, and Psychosemantics. Copyright @ 1981 by Scientific American, Inc. Reprinted by permission of the ...

Human beings, and perhaps other creatures, have minds as well as bodies. But what is a mind, and what is its relation to body, or to the physical in general? 1. Mind‐Body Dualism The first answer to the mind‐body question proposed since medieval times was that of Descartes, who held that minds are wholly distinct from bodies and from physical objects of any sort. According to Cartesian dualism,...

the problem of mental causation was one of the most important problems in philosophy of mind at least from the time of descartes. since cartesian philosophers found the causal interaction of the soul and the body problematic, they explained away the direct relation between the soul and the body in different ways. however, the problem was not resolved in contemporary philosophy of mind when the ...
