Justifying Typicality Measures of Boltzmannian Statistical Mechanics and Dynamical Systems
typicality probability Boltzmann statistical mechanics dynamical systems ergodic epsilon-ergodic translation-continuous translation-close
2016/6/15
A popular view in contemporary Boltzmannian statistical mechanics is to interpret the measures as typicality measures. In dynamical systems theory measures can similarly be interpreted as typicality m...
Can Interventionists be Neo-Russellians?Interventionism,the Open Systems Argument and the Arrow of Entropy
Russell on causation neo-Russellian views of causation interventionist theories of causation causation in the special sciences statistical mechanical account of causation
2016/6/15
Several proponents of the interventionist theory of causation have recently argued for a neo-Russellian account of causation. The paper discusses two strategies for interventionists to be neo-Russelli...
Theory Reduction in Physics:A Model-Based,Dynamical Systems Approach
reduction theory reduction physics dynamical system emergence intertheory relations inter-theory relations Nagel limit
2016/6/15
In 1973, Nickles identified two senses in which the term `reduction' is used to describe the relationship between physical theories: namely, the sense based on Nagel's seminal account of reduction in ...
Emergence,closure and inter-level causation in biological systems
Emergence biological organisation downward causation constraints
2016/6/14
In this paper, we advocate the idea that an adequate explanation of biological systems requires appealing to organisational closure as an emergent causal regime. We first develop a theoretical justifi...
The Entanglement Structure of Quantum Field Systems
relativistic quantum field theory algebraic approach ontology quantum fields quantum entanglement Reeh-Schlieder theorem non-separability ontic structural realism
2016/6/14
This essay considers the question of the ontology of relativistic quantum field theory (RQFT). It aims to discuss possible implications of the peculiarities of quantum entanglement and quantum non-loc...
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in Quantum Systems:Emergence or Reduction?
Emergence More is Different Symmetry Breaking Earman's Principle
2016/6/14
Beginning with Anderson (1972), spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in infinite quantum systems is often put forward as an example of (asymptotic) emergence in physics, since in theory no finite syste...
I introduce a theoretical framework, due originally to Lewis and Skyrms, used in several talks in the PSA symposium "Signaling Within the Organism." I contrast sender-receiver systems as they appear w...
When one model is not enough:Combining epistemic tools in systems biology
modeling reverse engineering network motifs Rheinberger engineering analogies historical epistemology
2016/6/13
In recent years, the philosophical focus of the modeling literature has shifted from descriptions of general properties of models to an interest in different model functions. It has been argued that t...
Tracing organizing principles:Learning from the history of systems biology
systems biology organizing principles general systems theory design principles mathematical modeling
2016/6/13
With the emergence of systems biology the notion of organizing principles is being highlighted as a key research aim. Researchers attempt to ‘reverse engineer’ the functional organization of biologica...
Systems Biology and the Integration of Mechanistic Explanation and Mathematical Explanation
Systems biology integration mechanistic explanation mathematical models mechanisms
2016/6/12
The paper discusses how systems biology is working toward complex accounts that integrate explanation in terms of mechanisms and explanation by mathematical models—which some philosophers have viewed ...
Evidence for the Deterministic or the Indeterministic Description?--A Critique of the Literature about Classical Dynamical Systems
determinism indeterminism randomness underdetermination ergodic theory stochatic processes dynamical systems
2016/5/31
It can be shown that certain kinds of classical deterministic descriptions and indeterministic descriptions are observationally equivalent. In these cases there is a choice between deterministic and i...
Discerning "indistinguishable" quantum systems
quantum discernibility discernment permutations PII Leibniz Saunders Muller Seevinck
2016/5/30
In a series of recent papers, Simon Saunders, Fred Muller and Michael Seevinck have collectively argued, against the folklore, that some non-trivial version of Leibniz's principle of the identity of i...
Religious Systems as “Emotionally Intelligent” Organizations
Religious Systems Emotionally Intelligent
2015/11/10
Since Freud’s (1927/1989) dismissive statement that religion was merely neurosis exhibited at the cultural level, psychologists have been intrigued by the nature of the relationship between religion a...
Design and Control of Self-organizing Systems

2015/7/29
Complex systems are usually difficult to design and control. There are several particular methods for coping with complexity, but there is no general approach to build complex systems. In this thesis ...
