There is an irreducible uncertainty in the prediction of human behavior because the dynamics of the brain, as a self-organizing system consisting of many millions of elements, are inherently indeterminate. Thus the Laplacian ideal of universal laws relating knowable causes to predictable effects cannot be realized in psychology.

Science and Engineering Ethics, 2012
Reductionist explanations in biology generally assume that biological mechanisms are highly deterministic and basically similar between individuals. A contrasting view has emerged recently that takes into account the degeneracy of biological processes--the ability to arrive at a given endpoint by a variety of available paths, even within the same ...

Indeterminacy as Indecision, Lecture III: Indeterminacy as Indecision
, 2020This lecture presents my own solution to the problem posed in Lecture I. Instead of a new theory of speech acts, it offers a new theory of the contents expressed by vague assertions, along the lines of the plan expressivism Allan Gibbard has advocated ...

Strategic Indeterminacy in the Law
Strategic Indeterminacy in the Law, 2019The last chapter identifies five basic functions of indeterminacyin laws, verdicts, and contracts.First, indeterminacy can facilitate the finding of compromise in the light of conflicting interests and beliefs.

Indeterminacy in language is commonly resorted to for a variety of reasons, in several different forms. After touching on the fuzzy boundaries of indeterminacy with respect to vagueness and ambiguity, several linguistic devices (among which, unexpectedly, also cardinal numbers) are introduced and discussed in relation to the prototypical form of ...
