Handedness, parity violation, and the reality of space
incongruent counterparts parity violation
2008/4/14
In the first part of this paper a relational account of incongruent counterparts is defended against an argument due to Kant. I then consider a more recent attack on such an account, due to John Earma...
General Covariance and the Objectivity of Space-Time Point-Events
Hole Argument Space-time Objectivity Physical Individuation
2008/4/14
"The last remnant of physical objectivity of space-time"is disclosed, beyond the Leibniz equivalence, in the case of a continuous family of spatially non-compact models of general relativity. The "phy...
Funny business in branching space-times:Infinite modal correlations
branching space-times indeterminism
2008/4/14
The theory of branching space-times is designed as a rigorous framework for modelling indeterminism in a relativistically sound way. In that framework there is room for ``funny business'', i.e., modal...
EPR-like ``funny business'' in the theory of branching space-times
branching space-times EPR
2008/4/11
EPR-like phenomena are (presumably)indeterministic, but they furthermore suggest thatour world involves seeming-strange ``funnybusiness.'' Without invoking any heavymathematics, the theory of branchi...
Does special relativity theory tell us anything new about space and time?
special relativity space-time operationalism
2008/4/11
It will be shown that, in comparison with the pre-relativistic Galileo-invariant conceptions, special relativity tells us nothing new about the geometry of spacetime. It simply calls something else "s...
``Branching space-time'' is a simple blend of relativity
and indeterminism. Postulates and definitions
rigorously describe the ``causal order'' relation
between possible point events. The key postu...
An Answer in Search of a Question: 'Proofs' of the Tri-Dimensionality of Space
space dimension stability topology explanation
2008/4/10
From Kant’s first published work to recent articles in the physics literature, philosophers and physicists have long sought an answer to the question, why does space have three dimensions. In this pap...
A theory of causation: causae causantes (originating causes) as inus conditions in branching space-times
causation indeterminism inus conditions
2008/4/9
Branching space-times (BST) theory, as developed elsewhere,
permits a sound and rigorously definable notion of
``originating cause'' or causa causans---a type of
transition event---of an outcome ev...
A branching space-times view on quantum error correction
indeterminism quantum mechanics branching
2008/4/9
In this paper we describe some first steps for bringing the framework of branching space-times to bear on quantum information theory. Our main application is quantum error correction. It is shown that...
This paper explores aspects of the notion of space among the 'street children' from a project called the "Art and Life House", in São Paulo city, Brazil. As we know, the human being and its act...
Entering Modeling Space An Apprenticeship in Molecular Modeling
molecular modeling molecular mechanics electronic structure
2008/4/7
Twenty years ago computer modeling had made its first major impact on the chemist’s patterns of thought. Now it is prominent in research and graduate education, and has made its presence felt througho...

Coordination of Space and Unity of Science
geometry unification disunity of science foundationalism
2008/4/1
In this essay, I explore a metaphor in geometry for the debate between the unity and the disunity of science, namely, the possibility of putting a global coordinate system (or a chart) on a manifold. ...
The Fate of Mathematical Place: Objectivity and the Theory of Lived-Space from Husserl to Casey
place lived-space objectivity invariance
2008/3/31
This essay explores theories of place, or lived-space, as regards the role of objectivity and the problem of relativism. As will be argued, the neglect of mathematics and geometry by the lived-space t...
On the Completion and Generalization of Intuitive Space in Der Raum: Husserlian and Drieschian Elements
Carnap Raum Driesch Husserl intuitive space Anschauungsraum
2008/3/31
The paper focuses on some puzzles about Carnap's intended epistemological point in the "completion" and "generalization" of the Anschauungsraum in sec. II of Der Raum (leaving aside the technical prob...
