Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 851-872, December 2025.Abstract A new argument is offered which proceeds through epistemic possibility (for all S knows, p), cutting a trail from modality to Millianism, the controversial thesis that the semantic content of a proper name is simply its bearer. New definitions are provided for various epistemic modal notions.

The simplicity of physical laws
Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 957-987, December 2025.Abstract Physical laws are strikingly simple, yet there is no a priori reason for them to be so. I propose that nomic realists—Humeans and non‐Humeans—should recognize simplicity as a fundamental epistemic guide for discovering and evaluating candidate physical laws.

Dip Angles of Mountain‐Front Facets Encode Long‐Term Slip Rates Along the Wasatch Normal Fault, USA
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.Abstract Mountains bounded by seismogenic normal faults are commonly decorated with facet slopes: planar slopes made of bedrock, or bedrock mantled by regolith, that rise above the fault. The steepness of such slopes is thought to reflect a balance between fault slip and erosion rate.

Gauge-invariant cosmological perturbations in general teleparallel gravity
European Physical Journal C: Particles and FieldsWe study linear cosmological perturbations in the most general teleparallel gravity setting, where gravity is mediated by the torsion and nonmetricity of a flat connection alongside the metric.
