A Cure for Humanity: the Transhumanisation of Culture [PDF]

, 2015
This paper examines the increasing integration of the radical human enhancement project into the cultural mainstream. The tacit identification of enhancement with therapy is no longer contested, but widely accepted.

Extropy analysis in consecutive r-out-of-n:G systems with applications in reliability and exponentiality testing

AIMS Mathematics
This study explores the extropy of consecutive r-out-of-n:G systems, offering a detailed framework for theoretical analysis and practical applications. Exact expressions for system lifetime extropy are derived, with comparative evaluations across diverse

The Indefinite Logarithm, Logarithmic Units, and the Nature of Entropy [PDF]

, 2005
We define the indefinite logarithm [log x] of a real number x>0 to be a mathematical object representing the abstract concept of the logarithm of x with an indeterminate base (i.e., not specifically e, 10, 2, or any fixed number).

Analyzing the cumulative residual extropy of system inactivity times and revealing system complexity

Journal of Inequalities and Applications
In this paper, we adopt a theoretical framework rooted in information theory, specifically focusing on cumulative residual extropy, to examine and contrast the times of system inactivity across multiple setups.

Uncertainty measures for concomitants of upper $ k $-record values based on the Huang-Kotz-Morgenstern type Ⅱ family

AIMS Mathematics
Statistical models involving bivariate data are among the most important areas of statistical theory. Concomitants of $ k $-record values (CKR) are key topics in statistical theory that have not been extensively studied by researchers.

Combinatorial Information Theory: I. Philosophical Basis of Cross-Entropy and Entropy [PDF]

, 2007
This study critically analyses the information-theoretic, axiomatic and combinatorial philosophical bases of the entropy and cross-entropy concepts. The combinatorial basis is shown to be the most fundamental (most primitive) of these three bases, since ...

Nonparametric log kernel estimator of extropy function

Chilean Journal of Statistics, 2022
Following [\textit{F. Lad} et al., Stat. Sci. 30, No. 1, 40--58 (2015; Zbl 1332.62027)], the extropy \({F_X}(x)\) of a non-negative random variable with absolutely continuous cumulative distribution function and with probability density function \({f_X}(x)\) is defined by \(J(X) = - \frac{1}{2}\int\limits_0^\infty {f_X^2(x)dx} \). Following [\textit{H.

A critical review of transhumanism: right to vulnerability in the Christian hope [PDF]

, 2019
El transhumanismo, y su posición más extrema posthumana, se ha convertido en los últimos tiempos en una de las claves para desentrañar el paradigma cultural en el que se juega la vida social, no ya del futuro, sino del presente.

My Brain, my Mind, and I: Some Philosophical Assumptions of Mind-Uploading [PDF]

, 2012
The progressing cyborgization of the human body reaches its completion point when the entire body can be replaced by uploading individual minds to a less vulnerable and limited substrate, thus achieving "digital immortality" for the uploaded self.
