This paper expounds the modern theory of symplectic reduction in finite-dimensional Hamiltonian mechanics. This theory generalizes the well-known connection between continuous symmetries and conserved...
Explanations are like salted peanuts. Why you can't cut the route toward further reduction.
explanation ideal text Batterman reduction
2008/4/22
This paper is a defense of an elaborated ideal explanatory text conception against criticism as put forward by Bob Batterman. It is argued that Batterman's critique of "philosophical" accounts of scie...
Two articles on the reduction of chemistry are examined. The first, by McLaughlin, claims that chemistry is reduced to physics and that there is no evidence for emergence or for downward causation bet...
This paper discusses the alleged reduction of Thermodynamics to Statistical Mechanics. It includes an historical discussion of J. Willard Gibbs' famous caution concerning the connections between therm...
I describe in this paper a solution to the Sleeping Beauty problem. I begin with the consensual emerald case and discuss then Bostrom's Incubator gedanken. I address then the Sleeping Beauty problem. ...
Testing Quantum State Reduction via Cosmogenic Neutrinos
Wavefunction Collapse Quantum State Reduction
2008/4/21
It is pointed out that the Diosi-Penrose ansatz for gravity-induced quantum state reduction
can be tested by observing oscillations in the flavor ratios of neutrinos originated at
cosmological dista...
Theory reduction by means of functional sub-types
reductionism theory reduction multiple realization
2008/4/21
The paper sets out a new strategy for theory reduction by means of functional sub-types. This strategy is intended to get around the multiple realization objection. We use Kim’s argument for token ide...
Two electrodynamics between plurality and reduction
electrodynamics reduction action at a distance
2008/4/21
Comparing action-at-a-distance electrodynamics in the tradition of Coulomb and Ampère with electromagnetic field theory of Faraday and Maxwell provides an example for a relation between theories, that...
Observations on Hyperplanes: I State Reduction and Unitary Evolution
state reduction unitary evolution hyperplane dependence
2008/4/15
This is the first of two papers responding (somewhat belatedly) to ‘recent’ commentary on various aspects of hyperplane dependence (HD) by several authors. In this paper I focus on the issues of the r...
Contracting Batterman's Asymptotic 'No-Man's Land:' Reduction Rejoins Explanation
Asymptotics Explanation and reduction
2008/4/11
The notion of emergence has received much renewed attention recently. Most of the authors I review (§ II), including most notably Robert Batterman (2002, 2003, 2004) share the common aim of providing ...
Emulation, Reduction, and Emergence in Dynamical Systems
Reduction emergence models structure of theories
2008/4/11
The received view about emergence and reduction is that they are incompatible categories. I argue in this paper that, contrary to the received view, emergence and reduction can hold together. To suppo...
Eliminativist Undercurrents in the New Wave Model of Psychoneural Reduction
Reductionism Eliminativism Folk Psychology
2008/4/11
"New wave" reductionism aims at advancing a kind of reduction that is stronger than unilateral dependency of the mental on the physical. It revolves around the idea that reduction between theoretical ...
Beyond Theoretical Reduction and Layer-Cake Antireduction: How DNA Retooled Genetics and Transformed Biological Practice
reduction reductionism theoretical reduction
2008/4/10
Watson and Crick’s discovery of the structure of DNA led to developments that transformed many biological sciences. But what were the relevant developments and how did they transform biology? Much of ...

Pragmatism, Belief, and Reduction Stereoformulas and Atomic Models in Early Stereochemistry
atomic models in 19th century chemistry stereochemistry
2008/4/7
In this paper I explore the character and role of stereoformulas and models of the atom that appeared in the early history of stereochemistry, including those of Jacobus Henricus van’t Hoff, Aemilius ...
