This paper offers some historical and conceptual remarks on the philosophical and logical procedures of abstraction, based on an account of the notions of concept and function. In order to provide a complete analyis, one should start by considering Plato’s theory of Ideas, which provides the first interpretation of “abstract terms” in the history of philosophy1. The nature of the most general F...

Context is a determining factor in language, and plays a decisive role in polysemic words. Several psycholinguistically-motivated algorithms have been proposed to emulate human management of context, under the assumption that the value of a word is evanescent and takes on meaning only in interaction with other structures. The predication algorithm (Kintsch, 2001), for example, uses a vector rep...

One can eeectively utilize predicated execution to improve branch handling in instruction-level parallel processors. Although the potential beneets of predicated execution are high, the tradeoos involved in the design of an instruction set to support predicated execution can be diicult. On one end of the design spectrum, architectural support for full pred-icated execution requires increasing t...

Abstract This article aims to provide a new solution the Logical Problem of Incarnation by proposing novel metaphysical reconstrual method reduplicative predication. will be grounded upon thesis ‘Ontological Pluralism, proposed Kris McDaniel and Jason Turner, notion an ‘aspect’ Donald L.
