In this paper we present our research directions on the issue of precise manipulation and modeling interactions for outdoor augmented reality. We also discuss the related issues of action at a distance techniques and the relationship between virtual and physical objects. Techniques for action at a distance are limited by the accuracy of the sensors, as well as the efficiency of tracking solutio...

The purpose of this paper is to present a consistent mathematical framework that shows how the EPR (Einstein. Podolsky, Rosen) phenomenon fits into our view of space time. To resolve the differences between the Hilbert space structure of quantum theory and the manifold structure of classical physics, the manifold is taken as a partial representation of the Hilbert space. It is the partial natur...

Since the discovery of Bell’s theorem, the physics community has come to take seriously the possibility that the universe might contain physical processes which are spatially nonlocal, but there has been no such revolution with regard to the possibility of temporally nonlocal processes. In this article, we argue that the assumption of temporal locality is actively limiting progress in the field...

The aim of this paper is to describe algorithms and structures required to support action– at–a–distance in Situated Cellular Agents (SCA). This model provides the possibility to define heterogeneous entities placed in regular or irregular spatial infrastructures. Different mechanisms supporting field diffusion within these structures will be described and analyzed, with reference to their perf...

The Wolf–Rayet phenomenon is a stellar phenomenon. This means that its length scale is essentially that of the star, i.e. some 10 cm. A typical nebular size is 10 cm or higher, which immediately illustrates that it may not be easy to make the connection between the star and the nebulae and observations confirm this. In this paper I will try to discuss some ways in which the nebular properties c...

This paper analyses the effects of implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) upon management control in two multinational organisations. How ERP was configured in each corporation created different forms of distance and relations between headquarters and the scattered subsidiaries. The construction of spatial and temporal separations (i.e. distance) and how they were understood ...

Standard formulae of classical electromagnetism for the forces between electric charges in motion derived from retarded potentials are compared with those obtained from a recently developed relativistic classical electrodynamic theory with an instantaneous inter-charge force. Problems discussed include small angle Ruther-ford scattering, Jackson's recent 'torque paradox' and circular Keplerian ...

In this paper, we construct a parallel image of the conventional Maxwell theory by replacing the observer-time by the proper-time of the source. This formulation is mathematically, but not physically, equivalent to the conventional form. The change induces a new symmetry group which is distinct from, but closely related to the Lorentz group, and fixes the clock of the source for all observers. ...

It has been suggested that some of the puzzles of QM are resolved if we allow that there is retrocausality in the quantum world. In particular, it has been claimed that this approach offers a path to a Lorentz-invariant explanation of Bell correlations, and other manifestations of quantum “nonlocality”, without action-at-a-distance. Some writers have suggested that this proposal can be supporte...
