We have time because we shall never know
Reza Tavakol, Edward Anderson
We argue against current proposals concerning the non-existence of time. We point out that a large number of these proposals rely, at least implicitly, on the assumption of `closur…
Problem of Time: Temporal Relationalism Compatibility of Other Local Classical Facets Completed
Edward Anderson
Temporal Relationalism (TR) is that there is no time for the universe as a whole at the primary level. Time emerges rather at a secondary level; one compelling idea for this is Mac…
Spherical Relationalism
Edward Anderson
This paper considers passing from the usual model of absolute space to at the level of relational particle models. Both approaches' cases are…
'Shape Dynamics': Foundations Reassessed
Edward Anderson
`Shape dynamics' is meant here in the sense of a type of conformogeometrical reformulation of GR, some of which have of late been considered as generalizations of or alternatives t…
Explicit partial and functional differential equations for beables or observables
Edward Anderson
We provide explicit partial differential equations - in finite cases - and functional differential equations - in field-theoretic cases - which determine observables or beables in…
Six New Mechanics corresponding to further Shape Theories
Edward Anderson
A suite of relational notions of shape are presented at the level of configuration space geometry, with corresponding new theories of shape mechanics and shape statistics. These fu…
