Controlling Complex Phenomena with the Help of Opaque Models
complexity modeling epistemic opacity
2008/4/11
Simulations may manage to control complex phenomena while at the same time the models invoked remain epistemically opaque. Considering cases from astronomy and meteorology, it will be argued that simu...
Electromagnetic Models of the Electron and the Transition from Classical to Relativistic Mechanics
electromagnetic worldview classical electron
2008/4/11
This paper is part II of a trilogy on the transition from classical particle mechanics to relativistic continuum mechanics that one of the authors is working on. The first part, on the Trouton experim...
Dynamical Emergence of Instantaneous 3-Spaces in a Class of Models of General Relativity
Achronal 3-spaces in GR Distant simultaneity Endurantism
2008/4/11
The Hamiltonian structure of General Relativity (GR), for
both metric and tetrad gravity in a definite continuous family of space-times, is fully exploited in order to show that: i) the "Hole Argumen...
Constructible Models of Quantum Logics.
Quantum logic Quantum theory Abstract Algebraic Logic (AAL)
2008/4/10
We continue in this article the algebraic treatment of quantum sentential logics (Wilczek 2006). Notions borrowed from the field of Model Theory and Abstract Algebraic Logic (i.e., consequence relatio...
Classical nonlocal field models consisting of probability density functionals over functions defined everywhere on Minkowski space are constructed directly from a quantum field state, using functional...
This paper examines some counterexamples to Judea Pearl's theory of token-causation within his structural equations framework. It argues that it is possible to modify the theory in natural ways to ove...
Between Laws and Models: Some Philosophical Morals of Lagrangian Mechanics
Classical mechanics Lagrangian mechanics
2008/4/10
I extract some philosophical morals from some aspects of Lagrangian mechanics. (A companion paper will present similar morals from Hamiltonian mechanics and Hamilton-Jacobi theory.) One main moral con...
Bayes Nets and Graphical Causal Models in Psychology

2008/4/10
These are chapters from a book forthcoming from MIT Press.
Comments to the author at cg09@andrew.cmu.edu would be
most welcome. Still time for changes.
This paper explores the question of whether connectionist models of cognition should be considered to be scientific theories of the cognitive domain. It is argued that in traditional scientific theori...
Approximations, Idealizations, and Models in Statistical Mechanics
approximation approbation laws of nature
2008/4/10
In this paper, a criticism of the traditional theories of approximation and idealization is given. After identifying the real purpose and measure of idealization in the practice of science, it is argu...
Papers that study real world phenomena with the help of agent-based models often offer direct policy advice. The measures recommended refer to measures taken by real policy makers, not to intervention...
Although many philosophers of science have recognized the importance of modeling in contemporary science, relatively little work has been done in developing a general account of models. The most widel...
Computational Models and Virtual Reality New Perspectives of Research in Chemistry
computational model computer network visualization virtual reality
2008/4/7
Molecular models are typical topics of chemical research depending on the technical standards of observation, computation, and representation. Mathematically, molecular structures have been represente...
Molecular Models and the Question of Physicalism
chemistry physicalism reductionism supervenience disunity of science
2008/4/7
By their own account, physicalists are committed to the claim that physics is causally complete, or closed. The claim is presented as an empirical one. However, detailed and explicit empirical argumen...
Towards ‘chemical congruence’ of the models in theoretical chemistry
models in theoretical chemistry theoretical analysis methodological criteria for models
2008/4/7
A series of ‘growth crises’ in the methodological framework of chemistry has led to serious discrepancies between the operational approach used in experimental practice and the methods and models use...
