Flow of Time in BST/BCONT Models and Related Semantical Observations
branching branching spacetime branching continuation temporal logic flow of time non-classical logic
2016/6/15
First the Branching Space-time and Branching Continuations models are briefly presented. We compare their properties with the traditional definition of a~Flow of Time from physics and we point out the...
Benefits of Objective Collapse Models for Cosmology and Quantum Gravity
Objective collapse Dynamical reduction Quantum gravity Cosmology
2016/6/15
We display a number of advantages of objective collapse theories for the resolution of long-standing problems in cosmology and quantum gravity. In particular, we examine applications of objective redu...
Fictional Models in Science
model fiction scientific representation idealization analogy unobservable
2016/6/14
In this paper, I begin with a discussion of Giere’s recent work arguing against taking models as works of fiction. I then move on to explore a spectrum of scientific models that goes from the obviousl...
Symbols versus Models
symbol model scientific representation reference denotation conventional epistemic pragmatic
2016/6/14
In this paper I argue against a deflationist view that as representational vehicles symbols and models do their jobs in essentially the same way. I argue that symbols are conventional vehicles whose c...
Non-standard Models and the Sociology of Cosmology
Cosmology Astrophysics Sociology Philosophy
2016/6/14
I review some theoretical ideas in cosmology different from the standard "Big Bang": the quasi-steady state model, the plasma cosmology model, non-cosmological redshifts, alternatives to non-baryonic ...
Intentional Models as Essential Scientific Tools
Intentionality intentional model statistical model phenomenological model mechanistic model propositional attitude prediction explanation
2016/6/13
In this article, I argue that the use of scientific models that attribute intentional content to complex systems bears a striking similarity to the way in which statistical descriptions are used. To d...
The United Kingdom Climate Impacts Program’s UKCP09 project makes high-resolution forecasts of climate during the 21st century using state of the art global climate models. The aim of this paper is to...
Models,Mechanisms,and Coherence
Mechanistic explanations scientific realism modeling coherence
2016/6/12
Life-science phenomena are often explained by specifying the mechanisms that bring them about. The new mechanistic philosophers have done much to substantiate this claim, and to provide us with a bett...
Models,Sherlock Holmes and the Emperor Claudius
Models idealization representation fiction imagination make-believe
2016/5/31
Recently, a number of authors have suggested that we understand scientific models in the same way as fictional characters, like Sherlock Holmes. The biggest challenge for this approach concerns the on...
Growth of science under the social influence in Arabic-Islamic and Western Civilisations,700-1900(Statistical Models)
History of science Science development Statistical model
2016/5/31
A population of breakthrough scientists is considered to trace the development of science in both old Arabic-Islamic and Western civilisations. A statistical method is used to trace variation in the s...
Climate Models,Calibration and Confirmation
confirmation calibration tuning double-counting climate science Bayesianism
2016/5/31
We argue that concerns about double-counting -- using the same evidence both to calibrate or tune climate models and also to confirm or verify that the models are adequate --deserve more careful scrut...
Agent-based Models as Fictive Instantiations of Ecological Processes
agent-based models ecological modeling instantiations models as fictions philosophy of simulation
2016/5/31
It has been argued that problems in computer simulation bear enough resemblance to recognized issues in the philosophy of modeling that they only pose philosophical challenges analogous to those found...

What's Right With a Syntactic Approach to Theories and Models?
syntactic view semantic view received view structuralism axiomatization formalization genetic method structure pure structure embedding
2016/5/30
Syntactic approaches in the philosophy of science, which are based on formalizations in predicate logic, are often considered in principle inferior to semantic approaches, which are based on formaliza...
Minds,models and mechanisms:a new perspective on intentional psychology
intentional psychology mechanistic model phenomenological model prediction explanation
2016/5/30
In this article, I argue that intentional psychology (i.e. the interpretation of human behaviour in terms of intentional states and propositional attitudes) plays an essential role in the sciences of ...
