Axiomatizing Relativistic Dynamics using Formal Thought Experiments
First-order Modal Logic Relativistic Dynamics Thought Experiments Definition of Mass
2016/6/14
Thought experiments are widely used in the informal explanation of Relativity Theories; however, they are not present explicitly in formalized versions of Relativity Theory. In this paper, we present ...
Dynamics,Symmetry,and the Levels of Selection
levels of selection natural selection group selection evolutionary process dynamics symmetry symmetry transformation
2016/6/13
Most attempts to answer the question of whether populations of groups can undergo natural selection focus on properties of the groups themselves rather than the dynamics of the population. Those appro...
Proving the Principle:Taking Geodesic Dynamics too Seriously in Einstein's Theory
geodesic principle universality law of motion idealization approximation Einstein general relativity dynamical law phase transitions distributions
2016/5/31
In this paper I critically review the long history of attempts to formulate and derive the geodesic principle, which claims that massive bodies follow geodesic paths in general relativity theory. I ar...
Quantum physics, causation, and the GRW dynamics
causal properties classical properties direction of time
2009/9/16
The paper makes a case for there being causation in the form of causal properties in the domain of fundamental physics. That case is built on an interpretation of quantum theory in terms of state redu...
Theoretical technologies in an “experimental” setting: empirical modeling of proteinic objects and simulation of their dynamics within scientific collaborations around a supercomputer
biophysics protein chemistry models simulation experimental data
2009/9/8
This paper examines, as a case study, some modeling and simulating practices in protein chemistry. In this field, theorists try to grasp proteinic objects by constructing models of their structures an...
I show why Michael Friedman’s idea that we should view new constitutive frameworks introduced in paradigm-change as members of a convergent series, introduces an uncomfortable tension in his views. It...
Sleeping Beauty and the Dynamics of De Se Beliefs
Sleeping Beauty Bayesianism Belief Revision
2008/4/21
The sleeping beauty problem raises the question of how changes in self-locating beliefs should affect our beliefs about the world. I argue that the responses to the sleeping beauty problem that have b...
The Dynamics of Time and Timelessness:Philosophy, Physics and Prospects for our Life
ontology physics biology consciousness
2008/4/21
We point out that physical behavior is directed by the action principle (or Hamilton principle), while biological behavior is governed
by the Bauer-principle which is directed against the action prin...
What Is a Macrostate? Subjective Observations and Objective Dynamics
Statistical mechanics thermodynamics macroscopic state
2008/4/18
We consider the question of whether thermodynamic macrostates are objective consequences of dynamics, or subjective reflections of our ignorance of a physical system. We argue that they are both; more...
Models in Fluid Dynamics
Fluid Dynamics Models
2008/4/15
In this paper, I would like to show that considering technological models as they arise in engineering disciplines can greatly enrich the philosophical perspective on models. In fluid mechanics, (at l...
Drawing the Line Between Kinematics and Dynamics in Special Relativity
Lorentz invariance Minkowski space-time
2008/4/11
In his book, Physical Relativity, Harvey Brown challenges the orthodox view that special relativity is preferable to those parts of Lorentz's classical ether theory it replaced because it revealed var...
Dynamics and the perception of causal events.
Axiomatizing relativistic dynamics without conservation postulates
relativity dynamics first-order logic
2008/4/10
A part of relativistic dynamics (or mechanics) is axiomatized by
simple and purely geometrical axioms formulated within first-order
logic. A geometrical proof of the formula connecting relativistic

Are Bohmian trajectories real? On the dynamical mismatch between de Broglie-Bohm and classical dynamics in semiclassical systems
dynamical mismatch Bohmian trajectories
2008/4/10
The de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics aims to give a realist description of quantum phenomena in terms of the motion of point-like particles following well-defined trajectories. This...
"Fundamental Physics": Molecular Dynamics vs. Hydrodynamics
emergence intertheory relations condensed matter physics
2008/4/9
This paper concerns the scale related decoupling of the physics of breaking drops and considers the phenomenon from the point of view of both hydrodynamics and molecular dynamics at the nanolevel. It ...
