Carnap verificationism Putnam principle of tolerance logical positivism pragmatism
2016/6/15
The classic “self-undermining objection” to the verificationist criterion of meaning states that the criterion does not meet its own standard: since verificationism is not empirically confirmable, ana...
Design and Control of Self-organizing Systems
complexity self-organization methodology traffic bureaucracies ambient intelligence
2015/7/29
Complex systems are usually difficult to design and control. There are several particular methods for coping with complexity, but there is no general approach to build complex systems. In this thesis ...
The relativity and equivalence principles for self-gravitating systems
Symmetry Relativity Gravity
2009/4/24
I criticise the view that the relativity and equivalence principles are consequences of the small-scale structure of the metric in general relativity, by arguing that these principles also apply to sy...

All parties to the Sleeping Beauty debate agree that it shows that some cherished principle of rationality has to go. Thirders think that it is Conditionalization and Reflection that must be given up ...
Science as a Self-Organizing Meta-Information System

Four basic problems that a theory of science has to deal with concern epistemology, structure, causality, and dynamics of science. These problems deal with the relationship of induction/deduction, act...

Traditionally, what we are conscious of in self-consciousness is something non-corporeal. But anti-Cartesian philosophers argue that the self is as much corporeal as it is mental. Because we have the ...
Self-Induced Decoherence and the Classical Limit of Quantum Mechanics
decoherence classical limit quantum mechanics
2008/4/22
In this paper we argue that the emergence of the classical world from the underlying quantum reality involves two elements: self-induced decoherence and macroscopicity. Self-induced decoherence does n...
Self-Induced Selection: A New Approach to Quantum Decoherence
Decoherence Quantum Mechanics
2008/4/22
According to Zurek, decoherence is a process resulting from the interaction between a quantum system and its environment; this process singles out a preferred set of states, usually called “pointer ba...
Self-Locating Belief in Big Worlds: Cosmology’s Missing Link to Observation
self-locating belief anthropic principle self-sampling assumption
2008/4/22
Current cosmological theories say that the world is so big that all possible observations are in fact made. But then, how can such theories be tested? What could count as negative evidence? To answer ...
Non-collapse theories of quantum mechanics have the peculiar characteristic that, although their measurements produce definite results, their state vectors remain in a superposition of possible outcom...
The Self Model and the Conception of Biological Identity in Immunology
Self Identity Immunology Continuity
2008/4/21
The self/non-self model, first proposed by F.M. Burnet, has dominated immunology for sixty years now. According to this model, any foreign element will trigger an immune reaction in an organism, where...
One's inaccuracy for a proposition is defined as the squared difference between the truth value (1 or 0) of the proposition and the credence (or subjective probability, or degree of belief) assigned t...
How can self-locating propositions be integrated into normal patterns of belief revision? Puzzles such as Sleeping Beauty seem to show that such propositions lead to violation of ordinary principles f...
I argue that four problems that appear to be very different have the same structure. I give a unified treatment of the Doomsday Argument, Sleeping Beauty, the Fine-tuning Argument and confirmation in ...

Dr. Evil learns that a duplicate of Dr. Evil has been created. Upon learning this, how seriously should he take the hypothesis that he himself is that duplicate? I answer: very seriously. I def...
