The Gradability of ‘Conscious’
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 2, Page 392-405, March 2026.ABSTRACT Are some creatures “more conscious” than others? A number of consciousness researchers have aimed to answer this question. Yet some have claimed that this question does not even make sense. They claim that “conscious” (in the phenomenal sense) never occurs as a gradable adjective, meaning an adjective that permits degree expressions (“more f ...

Uniquely human temporal thoughts
Mind &Language, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 137-157, February 2026.Life on Earth will eventually come to an end. The thought expressed in the previous sentence is about a point in time that is not known to the individual entertaining the thought. This paper is concerned with the nature of such temporal thoughts. We propose that the capacity to mentally represent thoughts about non‐specific temporal intervals is a ...

Service-Oriented Logic Programming [PDF]
Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2015 We develop formal foundations for notions and mechanisms needed to support service-oriented computing. Our work builds on recent theoretical advancements in the algebraic structures that capture the way services are orchestrated and in the processes that

The Journal of Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January/December 2026.ABSTRACT Workload pressure, examination stress, family responsibilities, and a variety of other factors all contribute to an increase in stress in the body. Stress weakens the human mind and body by accelerating several health disorders. Therefore, the number of approaches for early projection of stress plays a vital role in the healthcare sector ...

African Lambdas II: Formal Semantics of African Languages—The Verbal and Clausal Domain
Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT The formal semantic analysis of African languages is still a young subfield within theoretical linguistics. Starting with general overviews of the quantifier systems of individual African languages around two decades ago, there now exists a substantial body of fieldwork‐based and autochthonous formal semantic research conducted by both African

A synthesis view of counterfactuals
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 112, Issue 1, Page 130-160, January 2026.Abstract There are two prominent views of counterfactuals in the literature—variably strict conditional accounts developed by Stalnaker 1968 and D. K. Lewis 1973, and strict conditional accounts defended by von Fintel 2001, Gillies 2007, and others. Unfortunately, both views face serious challenges. This paper argues that traditional strict conditional

Where Mathematical Symbols Come From
Topics in Cognitive Science, Volume 18, Issue 1, Page 169-186, January 2026.Abstract There is a sense in which the symbols used in mathematical expressions and formulas are arbitrary. After all, arithmetic would be no different if we would replace the symbols ‘+$+$’ or ‘8’ by different symbols. Nevertheless, the shape of many mathematical symbols is in fact well motivated in practice.

Trajectory Semanticization: A Method of Accompany Vehicle Discovery Inspired by Semantic Similarity
Journal of Advanced Transportation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The study of accompanying vehicles is a hot topic in the field of intelligent transportation. Because of the multiple selectivity of the traffic path and the loss of sampling in traditional companion vehicles discovery, the method based on path similarity mining will result in the omission of the companion candidates.
