The notion of shape space was introduced in the second half of the 20th Century as a useful analytical tool for tackling problems related to the intrinsic spatial configuration of…
A proposal for a metaphysics of self-subsisting structures. II. Quantum physics
Antonio Vassallo, Pedro Naranjo, Tim Koslowski
The paper presents an extension of the metaphysics of self-subsisting structures set out in a companion paper to the realm of non-relativistic quantum physics. The discussion is ce…
Pure shape dynamics, self-subsisting structures, and the nature of time
Antonio Vassallo, Pedro Naranjo
The paper discusses the possible implications of the relational framework of Pure Shape Dynamics for the metaphysics of time. The starting point of the analysis is an interpretatio…
On the Prospects of a de Broglie-Bohm-Barbour-Bertotti Theory
Antonio Vassallo, Pedro Naranjo
Pure shape dynamics (PSD) is a novel implementation of the relational framework originally proposed by Julian Barbour and Bruno Bertotti. PSD represents a Leibnizian/Machian approa…
