We present an analysis of the first analytical physical theories developed after introduction calculus. The underlying framework these is differential and integral calculus in form by Leibniz. point out fundamental laws, or principles, postulates upon which they are founded, show some results laws that derived from them. main concepts drawing attention to primitive primary concepts, those undef...

The presence of dark matter, though well established by indirect evidence, is yet to be observed directly. Various matter detection experiments running for several years have yielded no positive results. In view these negative results, we had earlier proposed alternate models postulating a minimum gravitational field strength (minimum curvature) and acceleration. These postulates led the modifi...

Various models have been put forth to explain the modus operandi of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). One such model postulates an hierarchical anterior-posterior gradient within the PFC[1]. The structural architecture of the macaque PFC seems to support such a model. The hierarchical model is characterized by the principles of asymmetry, i.e. more anterior regions (region 10) have more efferents to...

Understanding the guiding principles of sensory coding strategies is a main goal in computational neuroscience. Among others, the principles of predictive coding and slowness appear to capture aspects of sensory processing. Predictive coding postulates that sensory systems are adapted to the structure of their input signals such that information about future inputs is encoded. Slow feature anal...

This paper takes an overtly anticipatory stance to the understanding of animat learning and behavior. It analyses four major animal learning theories and attempts to identify the anticipatory and predictive elements inherent to them, and to provide a new unifying approach based on the anticipatory nature of those elements based on five simple predictive “rules”. These rules encapsulate all the ...

The process of rationally revising beliefs in the light of new information is a topic of great importance and long-standing interest in artificial intelligence. Moreover, significant progress has been made in understanding the philosophical, logical, and computational foundations of belief revision. However, very little research has been reported with respect to the revision of other mental sta...

Though for a long time the set of classical belief revision belief postulates of Alchourrón, Gärdenfors and Makinson (AGM) was thought to incorporate a principle of minimality, according to which the outcome of revising a knowledge base (KB) by new information had to be minimally different from the original KB, it was realised that one had to add additional postulates, called relevance postulat...
