Closure of Self-Determining System Based on Causal and Constitutive Relations

Yoshiyuki Ohmura, Earnest Kota Carr, Yasuo Kuniyoshi

A self-determining system is defined as one in which causes originating within the system influence the system itself. This definition raises the question of how to specify system…

Defining causal mechanism in dual process theory and two types of feedback control

Yoshiyuki Ohmura, Yasuo Kuniyoshi

Mental events are considered to supervene on physical events. A supervenient event does not change without a corresponding change in the underlying subvenient physical events. Sinc…
