Falsifications of Hameroff-Penrose Orch OR Model of Consciousness and Novel Avenues for Development of Quantum Mind Theory
quantum mind consciousness Hameroff-Penrose Orch OR
2008/4/22
In this paper we try to make a clear distinction between quantum mysticism and quantum mind theory. Quackery always accompanies science especially in controversial and still under development areas an...
On the statistical viewpoint concerning the 2nd law of thermodynamics - OR - A reminder on the Ehrenfests'urm model
Ehrenfest urn model 2nd law of thermodynamics
2008/4/22
In statistical thermodynamics the 2nd law is properly spelled out in terms of conditioned probabilities. As such it makes the statement, that `entropy increases with time' without preferring a time di...
Prospects for a dual inheritance model of emotional evolution
emotion evolution dual inheritance evolutionary psychology
2008/4/22
Dual inheritance (DI) models of cultural evolution have been criticized for likening cultural transmission to genetic (lateral) transmission. I argue that although these objections might pertain to th...
Simulating Many-Body Models in Physics:Rigorous Results, 'Benchmarks', and Cross-Model Justification
models model rigor rigour mathematical physics
2008/4/21
This paper argues that, for a prospective philosophical analysis of models and simulations to be successful, it must accommodate an account of mathematically rigorous results. Such rigorous results ar...
Surprise and Evidence in Statistical Model Checking
Confirmation Induction Statistics Evidence
2008/4/21
There is considerable confusion about the role of p-values in statistical model checking. To clarify that point, I introduce the distinction between measures of surprise and measures of evidence which...
The Dark Side of the Force: When computer simulations lead us astray and ``model think'' narrows our imagination --- Pre conference draft for the Models and Simulation Conference, Paris, June 12-14 ---
computer simulations
2008/4/21
This paper is intended as a critical examination of the question of when the use of computer simulations is beneficial to scientific explanations. This objective is pursued in two steps: First, I try ...
The Meaning of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking (I): From a simple classical model
spontaneous symmetry breaking symmetry breaking symmetry principle
2008/4/21
This paper, part I of a two-part project, aims at answering the simple question 'what is spontaneous symmetry breaking?' by analyzing from a philosophical perspective a simple classical model. Related...
The Self Model and the Conception of Biological Identity in Immunology
Self Identity Immunology Continuity
2008/4/21
The self/non-self model, first proposed by F.M. Burnet, has dominated immunology for sixty years now. According to this model, any foreign element will trigger an immune reaction in an organism, where...
The Standard Model as a Philosophical Challenge
Quantum Field Theory particles standard model
2008/4/21
There are two opposing traditions in contemporary quantum field theory. Mainstream Lagrangian QFT led to and supports the standard model of particle interactions. Algebraic QFT seeks to provide a rigo...
The Standard Model of particle physics in other universes
Particles space-time symmetry structuralism
2008/4/21
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the mathematical objects and structures associated with the particle physics in other universes, can be inferred from the mathematical objects and struc...
What is an elementary particle in the first-quantized Standard Model?
first-quantized Standard Model
2008/4/18
The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the concept of an elementary particle in the first-quantized Standard Model. The emphasis is upon the mathematical structures involved, rather than numerical ...
Model-Theoretic Investigations into Consequence Operation (Cn) in Quantum Logics. An Algebraic Approach.
abstract algebraic logic consequence operation
2008/4/15
In this paper, we present the fundamentals of the so-called algebraic approach to propositional quantum logics. We define the set of formulae describing quantum reality as a free algebra freely genera...
My goal in this paper is to consider two separate but connected topics, one historical, the other philosophical. The first topic concerns the forms of reasoning contemporary experimental astrophysicis...
Model, Theory, and Evidence in the Discovery of the DNA Structure
DNA structure model-building phenomenologically-driven view
2008/4/15
In this paper I discuss the discovery of the DNA structure by Francis Crick and James Watson, which has provoked a large historical literature but has yet not found entry into philosophical debates. I...
Mechanisms, Causes and the Layered Model of the World
Causation Properties Levels of Organization
2008/4/15
Most philosophical accounts of causation take causal relations to obtain between individuals and events in virtue of nomological relations between properties of these individuals and events. Such view...
