What if the expected is not the most likely outcome? Four examples giving pause for thought and reconsideration

open access: yesEconomica, EarlyView.
Abstract The foundational nature of expectations‐based theories and the prominence of symmetric unimodal stochastic assumptions in economic research render the expected outcome the go to locational focus throughout its many realms. When symmetric unimodality prevails, expected and most likely outcomes are identical; however, when it does not, they are ...

Reply to Norsen's paper "Are there really two different Bell's theorems?" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Yes. That is my polemical reply to the titular question in Travis Norsen's self-styled "polemical response to Howard Wiseman's recent paper." Less polemically, I am pleased to see that on two of my positions --- that Bell's 1964 theorem is different from

Collingwood's Everyday Aesthetics

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Any adequate account of aesthetic experience must be able to accommodate the pervasiveness of aesthetic experiences in everyday life. While writers on everyday aesthetics have frequently taken inspiration from John Dewey's Art as Experience, my aim in this article is to show that there is another work in the history of the discipline that ...

Why Are All the Sets All the Sets?

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Necessitists about set theory think that the pure sets exists, and are the way they are, as a matter of necessity. They cannot explain why the sets (de rebus) are all the sets. This constitutes the Ur‐Objection against necessitism; it is the primary motivation cited by potentialists about set theory.

Correlation functions, Bell's inequalities and the fundamental conservation laws

open access: yes, 2004
I derive the correlation function for a general theory of two-valued spin variables that satisfy the fundamental conservation law of angular momentum. The unique theory-independent correlation function is identical to the quantum mechanical correlation ...

Relational Databases and Bell’s Theorem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Our aim in this paper is to point out a surprising formal connection, between two topics which seem on face value to have nothing to do with each other: relational database theory, and the study of non-locality and contextuality in the foundations of quantum mechanics.

A quantitative Doignon-Bell-Scarf theorem [PDF]

open access: yesCombinatorica, 2016
The famous Doignon-Bell-Scarf Theorem is a Helly-type result about the existence of integer solutions on systems of linear inequalities. The purpose of this paper is to present the following quantitative generalization: Given an integer $k$, we prove that there exists a constant $c(n,k)$, depending only on the dimension $n$ and $k$, such that if a ...

Is A Little Learning Dangerous?

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT I argue that a little learning is often dangerous even for ideal reasoners who are operating in extremely simple scenarios and know all the relevant facts about how the evidence is generated. More precisely, I show that, on many plausible ways of assigning value to a credence in a hypothesis H, ideal Bayesians should sometimes expect other ...
