Recent work in the Everett interpretation has suggested that the problem of probability can be solved by understanding probability in terms of rationality. However, there are *two* problems relating t...
Local, General and Universal Prediction Strategies: A Game-Theoretical Approach to the Problem of Induction
Problem of Induction Meta-Induction Prediction Method
2008/4/22
In this paper I present a game-theoretical approach to the problem of induction. I investigate the comparative success of prediction methods by mathematical analysis and computer programming. Hume's p...
Neural Unpredictability, the Interpretation of Quantum Theory, and the Mind-Body Problem
Quantum Theory Neural Unpredictability
2008/4/22
It has been suggested, on the one hand, that quantum states are just states of knowledge; and, on the other, that quantum theory is merely a theory of correlations. These suggestions are confronted wi...
Newcomb's Problem and Repeated Prisoners Dilemmas
Newcomb's Problem Prisoners Dilemma Prisoner's Dilemma
2008/4/22
I present a game-theoretic way to understand the situation describing Newcomb’s Problem (NP) which helps to explain the intuition of both one-boxers and two-boxers.
David Lewis has shown that the NP...
On the problem of emergence of classical space-time: The quantum-mechanical approach
Emergence generalized functions Hilbert space
2008/4/22
The classical space-time structure is derived from the structure of an abstract infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space S. For this S is first realized as a Hilbert space H* of functions of abstr...
On Mass Problem in Relativistic Mechanics and Gravitational Physics
relativistic mass proper mass gravitational force
2008/4/22
The proper mass of a test particle in General Relativity Theory (GRT) is a rest mass, so it is considered principally constant, just as in Kinematics of Special Relativity Theory (SRT). One may think ...
Probabilistic Measures of Coherence and the Problem of Belief Individuation
Coherence coherence measures Bovens Fitelson
2008/4/22
Coherentism in epistemology has long suffered from lack of formal and quantitative explication of the notion of coherence. One might hope that such probabilistic accounts of coherence as those propose...
Probability, Rational Single-Case Decisions and the Monty Hall Problem
Probability Rational Decision Monty Hall Problem
2008/4/22
The application of probabilistic arguments to single cases and decision-making is a contentious
philosophical problem arises in various contexts. This paper focuses on the validity of
probabilistic ...
In this paper I explore the logical relationship between the question of the reality of qualia and the problem of universals. I argue that nominalism is inconsistent with the existence of qualia, and ...
Quantum Measurements, Propensities and the Problem of Measurement
quantum mechanics problem of measurement
2008/4/22
This paper expands on, and provides a qualified defence of, Arthur Fine’s selective interactions solution to the measurement problem. Fine’s approach must be understood against the background of the i...
Relational Quantum Mechanics and the Determinacy Problem
Rovelli Barrett Mermin Relational Interpretation
2008/4/22
Quantum mechanics describes certain systems as being in superpositions of their properties, yet every measurement on every system that we are able to perform yields a determinate result. The ``orthod...
What does it mean, to embed the phenomena in an abstract structure? Or to represent them by doing so? The semantic view of theories runs into a severe problem if these notions are construed either nai...
Resolving the Bayesian Problem of Idealization
abstraction Bayesian confirmation idealization
2008/4/22
In "Bayesian Confirmation of Theories that Incorporate Idealizations", Michael Shaffer argues that, in order to show how idealized hypotheses can be confirmed, Bayesians must develop a coherent propos...
Solving the measurement problem: de Broglie-Bohm loses out to Everett
de Broglie-Bohm Everett measurement problem
2008/4/21
The quantum theory of de Broglie and Bohm solves the measurement problem, but the hypothetical corpuscles play no role in the argument. The solution finds a more natural home in the Everett interpreta...
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. ...
