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...
'Husserl's and Carnap's Theories of Space'
Husserl Carnap epistemology phenomenology space theory geometry perception
2008/3/31
Usually we do not connect theoretical approaches that of Edmund Husserl and of Rudolf Carnap. The fact of writing by Carnap some of his early works under the strong influence of the founder of phenome...
This paper investigates Newton’s ontology of space in order to determine its commitment, if any, to both neo-Platonism, which posits an incorporeal basis for space, and substantivalism, which regards ...
Newton's Metaphysics of Space: A “Tertium Quid” betwixt Substantivalism and Relationism, or merely A “God of the (Rational Mechanical) Gaps”?
Newton space force substantivalism relationism Cambridge neo-Platonism
2008/3/31
This paper investigates the question of, and the degree to which, Newton’s theory of space constitutes a third-way between the traditional substantivalist and relationist ontologies, i.e., that Newton...
