On the Limits of Intransitive Coordination
ABSTRACT A growing number of authors suggest that concept coordination—the kind of relation we pick out when we say that the concepts of one or more individuals represent something as the same—is not a transitive relation. Here we consider global features of representational systems to break new ground in the assessment of the intransitivity view. From

A Critique of Cosmological Natural Selection [PDF]
Mathematical physicist Lee Smolin has proposed a theory of Cosmological natural selection which, he argues, explains the existence of our life-supporting universe, and which, he claims, is superior to Anthropic Principle explanations.

Abstract This article traces the social life of medieval Persian poetry as it is repurposed within Los Angeles's Iranian diaspora. Based on 5 years of immersive ethnography in private erfān classes and mystical assemblies, I argue these gatherings function as contemporary diasporic courts, mobilizing core texts within a spiritual marketplace structured

Cosmological Constant or Cosmological Potential
In the framework of a model of minimal of dilatonic gravity (MDG) with cosmological potential we consider: the relations of MDG with nonlinear gravity and string theory; natural cosmological units, defined by cosmological constant; the properties of cosmological factor, derived from solar system and Earth-surface gravitational experiments; universal ...

Reconstruction of Rock Uplift in South‐Central Germany Since Late Mesozoic Times
Abstract Rock uplift and denudation act as first‐order controls on geological processes that influence atmospheric and ocean composition, and landscape‐forming processes. However, estimating rock uplift rates remains challenging due to the temporal averaging of rates calculated from individual thermo‐ or geochronologic systems.
