Blankness in post‐post‐postmodern poetry
Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.Abstract Jameson's “myth” identifies reification as the leading cause of cultural change. The myth also adumbrates the semiotic form of post‐postmodernism and post‐post‐postmodernism, which Jameson himself did not explore. One of the most extreme varieties of post‐post‐postmodern verse is the would‐be blank poem, pursued by Russian Futurists, Lettrists,

Effective relational dynamics [PDF]
, 2011 We provide a synopsis of an effective approach to the problem of time in the semiclassical regime. The essential features of this new approach to evaluating relational quantum dynamics in constrained systems are illustrated by means of a simple toy ...

Room for Improvement: Why Finitist Arguments Do Not Check Out
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine several new and underexplored arguments for the finitude of the past and the impossibility of Hilbert's Hotel. The first argument concludes that Hilbert's Hotel is impossible due to an alleged contradiction arising from the causal powers of infinitely many guests.

European Physical Journal C: Particles and FieldsWe investigate quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) as a diagnostic tool for probing frame-dragging effects and accretion disk physics in the spacetime of a rotating regular magnetic black hole (BH).

Simulations All the Way Up! An Atheist's Response to the Fine‐Tuning Argument
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT So the Fine‐tuning Argument goes, because it is so unlikely for the physical constants of the laws of nature to have taken the values that they in fact take, we should significantly raise our credence that God exists. Simulation Arguments argue that our world might be (or, in stronger versions, that it probably is) a mere computer simulation ...

Effectively flat potential in the Friedberg–Lee–Sirlin model
European Physical Journal C: Particles and FieldsThe Friedberg–Lee–Sirlin (FLS) model is a well-known renormalizable theory of scalar fields that provides for the existence of non-topological solitons.

Which AdS3 configurations contribute to the SCFT2 elliptic genus? [PDF]
, 2011 According to the AdS=CFT duality, the superconformal index of a superconformal eld theory should have an AdS interpretation as a Euclidean functional integral with periodic boundary conditions on the fermions.

The Problem of Psychonomic Harmony
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The problem of nomological harmony is the problem of explaining why the laws of nature match or apply to the states of the universe in a way that results in temporal evolution. The problem of psychophysical harmony is the problem of explaining why phenomenal states are paired with physical states and other phenomenal states in surprisingly ...

Lattice Quantum Gravity - an Update [PDF]
, 2011 We advocate lattice methods as the tool of choice to constructively define a backgroundindependent theory of Lorentzian quantum gravity and explore its physical properties in the Planckian regime.

On the Limits of Intransitive Coordination
Ratio, EarlyView.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
