Trajectory of Probabilities, Probability on Trajectories, and the Stochastic-Quantum Correspondence
Győző Egri, Marton Gomori, Balazs Gyenis +1
The probabilistic description of the time evolution of a physical system can take two conceptually distinct forms: a trajectory of probabilities, which specifies how probabilities…
The Causal Second Law
Balazs Gyenis
I argue that if a special science satisfies certain key assumptions that are familiar from physicalist accounts of the special sciences and from physics, then its causal regulariti…
Empirical structure physicalism and realism, Hempel's dilemma, and an optimistic meta-induction
Balazs Gyenis
Motivated by a generalization of Hempel's dilemma, I introduce a novel notion of empirical structure, as well as theory supervenience as a new reductive relationship between theori…
Physical, Empirical, and Conditional Inductive Possibility
Balazs Gyenis
I argue that John Norton's notions of empirical, hypothetical, and counterfactual possibility can be successfully used to analyze counterintuitive examples of physical possibility…
Maxwell and the normal distribution: A colored story of probability, independence, and tendency toward equilibrium
Balázs Gyenis
We investigate Maxwell's attempt to justify the mathematical assumptions behind his 1860 Proposition IV according to which the velocity components of colliding particles follow the…
