Time and the decider

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2021
Abstract Shadmehr and Ahmed's book is a welcome extension of optimal foraging theory and neuroeconomics, achieved by integrating both with parameters relating to effort and rate of movement. Their most persuasive and prolific data come from saccades, where times before and after decision are reasonably determinate. Skeletal movements are less likely

Computability and Decidability [PDF]

open access: possible, 2012
A function f is computable if there exist an algorithm that produces the value of f correctly for each possible argument of f. The computation of f for a particular argument x just involves following the instructions in the algorithm, and it produces the result f(x) in a finite number of steps if x is in the domain of f.

New Directions for Evaluation, 2018
AbstractGene V. Glass gives examples from his personal and professional life to develop his point that although he uses rationality to persuade others to accept his evaluations, he believes most of his personal evaluations are based on emotions and responses to psychological stress.

Decidability of MLSSP

2018
Towards a proof of the decidability of MLSSP, there are two fundamental goals to achieve. The first one consists in finding a shadow process that is good enough to create an assignment that L-simulates the original one and, therefore, using Lemma 2.24, also good enough to create a model for the original formula.
