Metameric intransitivity

Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2010
There are two kinds of afterimages. In negative afterimages, looking at a blank field after staring at a colored figure gives a figure whose color is complementary to that of the original figure. Less well understood and studied is the phenomenon of induced positive afterimages, in which staring at a colored area surrounding a small white test patch ...

Learning Intransitivity: From Intransitive Geometrical Objects to ‘Rhizomatic’ Intransitivity

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020
A new class of intransitive objects — geometrical and mathematical constructions forming intransitive cycles A > B > C > A — are presented. In contrast to the famous intransitive dice, lotteries, etc., they show deterministic (not probabilistic) intransitive relations.

Intentionalism and Intransitivity

Synthese, 2005
I argue in this paper that the existence of ‘sorites series’ of color patches – series of color patches arranged so that the patches on each end look different in color though no two adjacent patches do – shows that the relation of same phenomenal charac­ter as is not a transitive relation.

Intransitivity in Coevolution

2004
We review and investigate the current status of intransitivity as a potential obstacle in coevolution. Pareto-Coevolution avoids intransitivity by translating any standard superiority relation into a transitive Pareto-dominance relation. Even for transitive problems though, cycling is possible.

Intransitive Predication

1997
Abstract Intransitive Predication constitutes a major contribution to the study of typological linguistics and theoretical linguistics in general. Basing his analysis on a sample of 410 languages, Leon Stassen investigates cross-linguistic variation in one of the core domains of all natural languages. The author views this domain as a

Rationality and intransitive preferences

Analysis, 1980
Probleme de la theorie de la preference: si un agent bien que preferant A a B et B a C, prefere C a A (intransitivite de l'ordre de preference), sa decision est-elle irrationnelle (au sens de la theorie de la decision)? Non, selon l'A. qui raisonne sur le choix d'un electeur entre deux candidats, car l'agent peut avoir de bonnes raisons de son choix ...

THE IRRATIONALITY OF INTRANSITIVITY

Oxford Economic Papers, 1964
A RECENT discussion of welfare economics 'summarizes the question of transitivity as follows. There is not now conclusive reason to believe that the assumption of transitivity of preference in individual choice is deeply suspect. There are, however, grounds for being willing to make deep empirical investigations into the validity of the assumption ...
