Nonindexical contextualism [PDF]
SynthÈse, 2007 Philosophers on all sides of the contextualism debates have had an overly narrow conception of what semantic context sensitivity could be. They have conflated context sensitivity (dependence of truth or extension on features of context) with indexicality (dependence of content on features of context).

Philosophical and Epistemological Foundations of Contextualism in Postmodern Urban design and architecture [PDF]
Journal of Philosophical Investigations, 2021 In this essay I present a new and empirically-testable strategy for completing quantum mechanics. In recent decades, urban design and architecture disciplines witnessed plenty of theories and school development.

Analyzing the Impact of Contextualism on Place Attachment in Historical Neighborhoods (Case Study: Sorkhab and Davehchi- Tabriz) [PDF]
جغرافیا و آمایش شهری منطقهای, 2021 Nowadays the principles and criteria for place attachment in neighborhoods and their relevance to cultural, historical, social, and natural contexts are ignored, and this causes many problems.

Philosophy, Theory, and Practice in Biology, 2022 This paper develops the conceptual framework of "sex contextualism" for the study of sex-related variables in biomedical research. Sex contextualism offers an alternative to binary sex essentialist approaches to the study of sex as a biological variable.

Contextual Fraction as a Measure of Contextuality [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2017 We consider the contextual fraction as a quantitative measure of contextuality of empirical models, i.e. tables of probabilities of measurement outcomes in an experimental scenario. It provides a general way to compare the degree of contextuality across measurement scenarios; it bears a precise relationship to violations of Bell inequalities; its value,

Faultless Disagreement Contextualism [PDF]
Organon F, 2021 It is widely assumed that the possibility of faultless disagreement is to be explained by the peculiar semantics and/or pragmatics of special kinds of linguistic construction.

Measures of contextuality and non-contextuality [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2019 We discuss three measures of the degree of contextuality in contextual systems of dichotomous random variables. These measures are developed within the framework of the Contextuality-by-Default (CbD) theory, and apply to inconsistently connected systems (those with ‘disturbance’ allowed).

Quantifying Contextuality [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2014 Contextuality is central to both the foundations of quantum theory and to the novel information processing tasks. Although it was recognized before Bell's nonlocality, despite some recent proposals, it still faces a fundamental problem: how to quantify its presence? In this work, we provide a framework for quantifying contextuality.

Contextualizing ontologies [PDF]
Journal of Web Semantics, 2004 Ontologies are shared models of a domain that encode a view which is common to a set of different parties. Contexts are local models that encode a party's subjective view of a domain. In this paper, we show how ontologies can be contextualized, thus acquiring certain useful properties that a pure shared approach cannot provide.
