There are many kinds of indeterminacy temporal data in temporal database. Therefore, many researchers have focused on building indeterminacy temporal data models. Unfortunately, established models can’t adequately address the challenges posed by indeterminacy temporal information, and can’t adapt to all sorts of involved applications. In this paper, we propose a temporal data model, named BPTM ...

In this article I will discuss the intersection between art and neuroscience from the perspective of a practicing artist. I have collaborated on several scientific studies into the effects of art on the brain and behavior, looking in particular at the phenomenon of "visual indeterminacy." This is a perceptual state in which subjects fail to recognize objects from visual cues. I will look at the...

Exploring intentionality from an externalist perspective, I distinguish three kinds of intentionality in the case of seeing, which I call transparent, translucent, and opaque respectively. I then extend the distinction from seeing to knowing, and then to believing. Having explicated the three-fold distinction, I then critically explore some important consequences that follow from granting that ...

In the present paper we consider a one-sector growth model in continuous time with a production externality and endogenous labor supply. There is a continuum of households who have identical preferences but differ with respect to their initial wealth. We show that there exist economies such that an indeterminate steady state exists for some wealth distribution but not for others. A second resul...

Explanations of the genuine openness future often appeal to objective indeterminacy. According received view, such indeterminacy is certain future-tensed state affairs that presently obtain. We shall call this view weak indeterminate present, distinguish it from we will defend in paper, which dub strong present. our unsettledness grounded on present some present-tensed affairs. In order for an ...

Granular packings of hard disks are investigated by means of contact dynamics which is an appropriate technique to explore the allowed force realizations in the space of contact forces. Configurations are generated for given friction coefficients, and then an ensemble of equilibrium forces is found for fixed contacts. We study the force fluctuations within this ensemble. In the limit of zero fr...

We consider a two-sector overlapping generations model with homothetic preferences. Under standard conditions on technologies, upon large enough values for the share of first period consumption over the wage income, we prove that dynamic efficiency and local uniqueness of the competitive equilibrium hold. On the contrary, for lower values of the share of first period consumption over the wage i...

Hawking and Mlodinow affirm that quantum indeterminacy is not a departure from natural law. Indeterminacy leads us to redefine natural law as meaning that nature does not determine outcomes, but rather determines a range of probable outcomes. They unfortunately do not apply this to human beings. In contrast, we ought to explore the possibility that while most structures in nature statistically ...
