The Causal Second Law
Balazs Gyenis
I argue that if a special science satisfies certain key assumptions that are familiar from physicalist accounts of the special sciences and from physics, then its causal regulariti…
Bifurcation Logic: Separation Through Ordering
Didier Galmiche, Timo Lang, Daniel Méry +1
We introduce Bifurcation Logic, BL, which combines a basic classical modality with separating conjunction * together with its naturally associated multiplicative implication, that…
An extendible spacetime without closed timelike curves whose every extension contains closed timelike curves
H. Andréka, J. Madarász, J. Manchak +2
By removing a fractal from time-rolled Minkowski spacetime, we construct an extendible spacetime without closed timelike curves whose every extension contains closed timelike curve…
Empirical structure physicalism and realism, Hempel's dilemma, and an optimistic meta-induction
Balazs Gyenis
Motivated by a generalization of Hempel's dilemma, I introduce a novel notion of empirical structure, as well as theory supervenience as a new reductive relationship between theori…
Axiomatizing Rumsfeld Ignorance
Jie Fan
In a recent paper, Kit Fine presents some striking results concerning the logical properties of (first-order) ignorance, second-order ignorance and Rumsfeld ignorance. However, Rum…
Disentangling Boltzmann brains, the time-asymmetry of memory, and the second law
David Wolpert, Carlo Rovelli, Jordan Scharnhorst
Are your perceptions, memories and observational data, a statistical fluctuation out of the thermal equilibrium of the universe, having no correlation with the actual past state of…
