Indeterminism in physics and intuitionistic mathematics [PDF]
SynthÈse, 2021 Most physics theories are deterministic, with the notable exception of quantum mechanics which, however, comes plagued by the so-called measurement problem.

Indeterminism belief protects against uncertainty: first empirical findings
Discover Psychology, 2023 We empirically explore whether perceptions of (in)determinism are related to the willingness to tolerate uncertainty. We argue that the belief in indeterminism supports a sense of personal autonomy and independence from external influence, a stance that ...

Quantum Indeterminism, Free Will, and Self-Causation
Journal of Consciousness Studies, 2023 A view that emancipates free will by means of quantum indeterminism is frequently rejected based on arguments pointing out its incompatibility with what we know about quantum physics.

In Praise of Quantum Uncertainty [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 Quantum uncertainty has a tremendous explanatory power. Coherent superposition, quantum equations of motion, entanglement, nonlocal correlations, dynamical nonlocality, contextuality, discord, counterfactual protocols, weak measurements, quantization ...

The Nothing from Infinity paradox versus Plenitudinous Indeterminism
European Journal for Philosophy of Science, 2022 The Nothing from Infinity paradox arises when the combination of two infinitudes of point particles meet in a supertask and disappear. Corral-Villate claims that my arguments for disappearance fail and concedes that this failure also produces an extreme ...

‘Animals run about the world in all sorts of paths’: varieties of indeterminism
SynthÈse, 2021 In her seminal essay ‘Causality and Determination’, Elizabeth Anscombe very decidedly announced that “physical indeterminism” is “indispensable if we are to make anything of the claim to freedom”. But it is clear from that same essay that she extends the

Quantum Randomness is Chimeric [PDF]
Entropy, 2021 If quantum mechanics is taken for granted, the randomness derived from it may be vacuous or even delusional, yet sufficient for many practical purposes.

An introduction to real possibilities, indeterminism, and free will: three contingencies of the debate. [PDF]
Synthese, 2019 The papers collected in this Special Issue document the development of a novel, positive understanding of indeterminismgrounded in real possibilities, and the interrelation of that development with the free will debate.

A Stochastic Process Model for Free Agency under Indeterminism. [PDF]
Dialectica (Bern), 2018 The aim of this paper is to establish that free agency, which is a capacity of many animals including human beings, is compatible with indeterminism: an indeterministic world allows for the existence of free agency.

Comments on Indeterminism and Undecidability
, 2021 In a recent paper [1], it has been claimed that the outcomes of a quantum coin toss which is idealized as an infinite binary sequence is 1-random. We also defend the correctness of this claim and assert that the outcomes of quantum measurements can be ...
