45 If we divide the path set for u i into 1 and 1 , deened as before, then if we let M be an arbitrary canonical matrix, we can show the following

Assume that we measure a physical ~mntity x with a measuring device whose accuracy is ~ (i.e., whose prtniucers guarantee that the difference a: ~ between the actual value :r and the measured value d{ms m~t exceed 5). If the result of this measurement is ~, then Ix~ssible values of a: fiwm an interval [~-~,~+~]. Suppose nnw that we know that a physical qtiantity y is a function of the physical ...

An instance of the given problem is divided into easier instances of the same problem, which are solved recursively and then combined to create a solution to the original instance. Of course, divide and conquer is not suitable for every problem. A divide and conquer approach will only work if the problem is easily divided into a small number of easier sub-problems, and the solution to the entir...

We tend to assume that progress in answering the ‘hard question’ of consciousness will be accompanied by a subjective feeling of greater understanding. However, in order to feel we understand how one state of affairs arises from another, we have to deceive ourselves into thinking we have found a type of causal link which in reality may not exist (Rosch, 1994). I draw from and expand upon Rosch’...
