Pure Shape Dynamics: Relational General Relativity
Pooya Farokhi, Tim Koslowski, Pedro Naranjo
We present a Pure Shape Dynamics (PSD) formulation of General Relativity (GR), which implements full relationalism by eliminating absolute scale and external time references from t…
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…
Complexity and Its Creation
Julian Barbour, Zaza Doborjginidze, Tim Koslowski +1
Except for crystalline or random structures, an agreed definition of complexity for intermediate and hence interesting cases does not exist. We fill this gap with a notion of compl…
A de Broglie-Bohm Model of Pure Shape Dynamics: -body system
Pooya Farokhi, Tim Koslowski, Pedro Naranjo +1
We provide the construction of a de Broglie-Bohm model of the -body system within the framework of Pure Shape Dynamics. The equation of state of the curve in shape space is work…
A Proposal for a Metaphysics of Self-Subsisting Structures. I. Classical Physics
Antonio Vassallo, Pedro Naranjo, Tim Koslowski
We present a new metaphysical framework for physics that is conceptually clear, ontologically parsimonious, and empirically adequate. This framework relies on the notion of self-su…
The Physics and Metaphysics of Pure Shape Dynamics
Antonio Vassallo, Pedro Naranjo, Tim Koslowski
The goal of this essay is twofold. First, it provides a quick look at the foundations of modern relational mechanics by tracing its development from Julian Barbour and Bruno Bertot…
