A local and operational framework for the foundations of physics [PDF]
Advances in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, 2016 We discuss a novel framework for physical theories that is based on the principles of locality and operationalism. It generalizes and unifies previous frameworks, including the standard formulation of quantum theory, the convex operational framework and ...

Analyticity and the Global Information Field
Mathematics, 2015 The relation between analyticity in mathematics and the concept of a global information field in physics is reviewed. Mathematics is complete in the complex plane only. In the complex plane, a very powerful tool appears—analyticity.

Not Its Own Meaning: A Hermeneutic of the World
Humanities, 2017 The contemporary cultural mindset posits that the world has no intrinsic semantic value. The meaning we see in it is supposedly projected onto the world by ourselves.

Quantum Electrodynamics Coherence and Hormesis: Foundations of Quantum Biology
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Background: “Quantum biology” (QB) is a promising theoretical approach addressing questions about how living systems are able to unfold dynamics that cannot be solved on a chemical basis or seem to violate some fundamental laws (e.g., thermodynamic yield,

Atemporality from Conservation Laws of Physics in Lorentzian-Euclidean Black Holes [PDF]
Foundations of physicsRecent results have shown that singularities can be avoided from the general relativistic standpoint in Lorentzian-Euclidean black holes by means of the transition from a Lorentzian to an Euclidean region where time loses its physical meaning and becomes

Typicality in the Foundations of Statistical Physics and Born’s Rule [PDF]
Fundamental Theories of Physics, 2019 Typicality has always been in the minds of the founding fathers of probability theory when probabilistic reasoning is applied to the real world. However, the role of typicality is not always appreciated.
