This paper deals with a foundational aspect of Integrated Information Theory (IIT) consciousness: the nature relation between axioms phenomenology and postulates cause-effect power. There has been lack clarity in literature regarding this crucial issue, for which IIT received much criticism its axiomatic method basic tenets. The present contribution elucidates problem by means categorial analys...

I study the process of inductive hypothesis formation from two perspectives: finding general rules that explain given specific evidence, and finding general rules that are confirmed by the evidence. Both forms of hypothesis formation are axiomatised on the metalevel of consequence relations, which provides us with a set of rationality postulates for various forms of induction.

We present a precis-of an approach to relevance as it pertains to weak conditionMs and defeasible reasoning. The notion of relevance is taken as a relation between a property (such as, being green) and a conditional (such as, birds fly). A series of principles characterising a minimal, parsimonious notion of relevance is developed. Lastly, an explicit definition that agrees with the postulates ...

legal capital refers to the disciplinary spirit governing the relations among citizens within the frameworks defined by societies’ statutory and customary law. based on the present view, any social development is meaningless within a society which lacks legal capital, i.e. legal capital is formed in societies where the rule of law is previously established. therefore, rule of law indicates a su...

Language is constituted by discrete building blocks, sounds and words, which can be concatenated according to serial order principles. The neurobiological organization of these building blocks, in particular words, has been illuminated by recent metabolic and neurophysiological imaging studies. When humans process words of different kinds, various sets of cortical areas have been found to becom...

Based on the assumption that experiment confirms STR, it is shown value of speed light a very slowly decreasing function its frequency, so at frequency 2.2989.10-18 S-1, becomes zero. Such represents resting particles – photonics could serve as Absolute Reference System, but due to their negligible mass, do not have noticeable effect processes taking place. This explains Einstein’s principle re...
