Reconstructing Bologna. The City as an Emergent Computational System - A Study in the Complexity of Urban Structures. Part I: The Basic Idea and Fundamental Concepts
Rainer E. Zimmermann, Anna Soci, Giorgio Colacchio
The conceptual background for a detailed study of the urban form of the city of Bologna is discussed with a view to modern methodological insight as it is being presented by recent…
Recent Conceptual Consequences of Loop Quantum Gravity. Part III: A Postscript On Time
Rainer E. Zimmermann
With a view to the results discussed in the first two parts of this paper, the concept of time is revisited oncemore and chosen as an example in order to demonstrate the meaning of…
Recent Conceptual Consequences of Loop Quantum Gravity. Part II: Holistic Aspects
Rainer E. Zimmermann
Based on the foundational aspects which have been discussed as consequences of ongoing research on loop quantum gravity in the first part of this paper, the holistic aspects of the…
Recent Conceptual Consequences of Loop Quantum Gravity. Part I: Foundational Aspects
Rainer E. Zimmermann
Conceptual consequences of recent results in loop quantum gravity are collected and discussed here in view of their implications for a modern philosophy of science which is mainly…
Basic Aspects of Negator Algebra in SOC
Rainer E. Zimmermann
Recent developments in loop quantum gravity and topological quantum field theory are being mirrored with a view to the emergent structure of self- organized criticality (SOC). Refe…
Topoi of Emergence. Foundations and Applications
Rainer E. Zimmermann, Wolfram Voelcker
We discuss aspects of emergence by introducing the concept of negator algebra referring to topos-theoretic results obtained by Vladimir Trifonov some time ago. As a possible applic…
Beyond the Physics of Logic: Aspects of Transcendental Materialism or URAM in a Modern View
Rainer E. Zimmermann
It has been shown at other occasions that recent results of modern physics can be used to shed some more light onto the foundations of the world, provided the actual task of philos…
