Laws beyond spacetime
Vincent Lam, Christian Wüthrich
Quantum gravity's suggestion that spacetime may be emergent and so only exist contingently would force a radical reconception of extant analyses of laws of nature. Humeanism presup…
Determinism and general relativity
Chris Smeenk, Christian Wuthrich
We investigate the fate of determinism in general relativity (GR), comparing the philosopher's account with the physicist's well-posed initial value formulations. The fate of deter…
What becomes of a causal set
Christian Wuthrich, Craig Callender
Unlike the relativity theory it seeks to replace, causal set theory has been interpreted to leave space for a substantive, though perhaps 'localized', form of 'becoming'. The possi…
A quantum-information-theoretic complement to a general-relativistic implementation of a beyond-Turing computer
Christian Wuthrich
There exists a growing literature on the so-called physical Church-Turing thesis in a relativistic spacetime setting. The physical Church-Turing thesis is the conjecture that no co…
No categorial support for radical ontic structural realism
Vincent Lam, Christian Wuthrich
Radical ontic structural realism (ROSR) asserts an ontological commitment to 'free-standing' physical structures understood solely in terms of fundamental relations, without any re…
