The Relativity of Existence [PDF]
, 2012 Despite the success of modern physics in formulating mathematical theories that can predict the outcome of experiments, we have made remarkably little progress towards answering the most fundamental question of: why is there a universe at all, as opposed

Anselm's Temporal‐Ontological Proof
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In his Reply to Gaunilo, Anselm presented two additional arguments for the existence of God beyond those that appear in the Proslogion. In “The Logical Structure of Anselm's Argument,” Robert M. Adams isolates each. One, he develops into a modal ontological argument along the lines of other 20th century ontological arguments (e.g., those of ...

Track Record Arguments in Normative Ethics
Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Track record arguments (TRAs) contend that it speaks in favor of an ethical theory (such as utilitarianism) if many of its past proponents had moral views that were controversial at their time but which we now consider to be clearly true (e.g., women's equal rights in 18th century Europe). This paper explores how to construct potentially sound

Standard State Space Models of Unawareness [PDF]
, 2015 The impossibility theorem of Dekel, Lipman and Rustichini has been thought to demonstrate that standard state-space models cannot be used to represent unawareness.

The Abductivist Interpretation of Frege's Conception of Logic
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Frege is an abductivist about logic. For him, an acceptable logic must be sufficient—that is, it must be able to explain the relevant data, such as the fact that arithmetical laws are logical truths. Thus, Frege's logicism is an abductive project aimed at establishing the acceptability of his logic, Begriffsschrift.

Quantum Mechanics Unscrambled [PDF]
, 2014 Is quantum mechanics about 'states'? Or is it basically another kind of probability theory? It is argued that the elementary formalism of quantum mechanics operates as a well-justified alternative to 'classical' instantiations of a probability calculus ...

Exploring Imprecise Probabilities in Quantum Algorithms with Possibility Theory
PAMM, Volume 26, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Quantum computing utilizes the underlying principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations with unmatched performance capabilities. Rather than using classical bits, it operates on qubits, which can exist in superposition and entangled states. This enables the solution of problems that are considered intractable for classical computers.

A presentation theorem for continuous logic and Metric Abstract Elementary Classes [PDF]
, 2016 We give a presentation theorem for continuous first-order logic and Metric Abstract Elementary classes in terms of $L_{\omega_1, \omega}$ and Abstract Elementary Classes, respectively. This presentation is accomplished by analyzing dense subsets that are

Unpacking Endogeneity: Growth, Discontent and Cohesion Policy in the EU Regions
Growth and Change, Volume 57, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT This paper explores the complex interplay between regional economic growth, political discontent, and policy responsiveness within EU regions, focusing on increasing inequalities in the context of the EU's ongoing processes of deepening and widening integration. Drawing on panel data for the EU28 at the regional level (NUTS2) from 2010 to 2018,
