Due to their reliance on constitutive higher-order representing to generate the qualities of which the subject is consciously aware, I argue that the major existing higher-order representational theories of consciousness insulate us from our first-order sensory states. In fact on these views we are never properly conscious of our sensory states at all. In their place I offer a new higher-order ...

I discuss aspects of higher-order topological field theory crystalline insulators with no other symmetries. show how the topology and geometry lattice is organized in terms so-called elasticity tetrads which are ground state degrees freedom labelling translational charges, higher-form conservation laws responses on sub-dimensional manifolds bulk insulator. The quasitopological obtained this way...

This article contains introductions to three open problems of significant research interest, taken from number theory, logic, and condensed matter physics. All three problems will be shown to have at their core special cases of one simply-stated optimization problem. Our goal is to use the intuition gained from these three perspectives to direct attention to this common core, which constitutes,...

To produce high quality code, modern compilers use global optimization algorithms based on abstract interpretation. These algorithms are rather complex; their implementation is therefore a non{trivial task and error{prone. However, since they are based on a common theory , they have large similar parts. We conclude that analyzer writing better should be replaced with analyzer generation. We pre...

[1] A refined theoretical analysis of the clear-air Doppler radar (CDR) measurement process is presented. The refined theory builds on the Fresnel-approximated (as opposed to Fraunhofer-approximated) radio wave propagation theory, and turbulence statistics like locally averaged velocities, local velocity variances, local dissipation rates, and local structure parameters are allowed to vary rand...
