Exploring Applications of Irreversibility [PDF]
Journal for Peace and Nuclear DisarmamentThis is the third and final special issue in this series that engages with the concept of nuclear disarmament irreversibility. The first special issue provided a comprehensive overview of irreversibility, establishing a conceptual foundation for this ...

Gradualism and Irreversibility [PDF]
Review of Economic Studies, 1999 The authors study the following model of a two-person non-zero-sum dynamic game \(\Gamma\): There are two players \(i=1,2\). In each period \(t=0,1,\dots\), both players \(i=1,2\) simultaneously choose an action \(c_{i,t} \in \mathbb{R}_{+}\), measuring \(i\)'s level of cooperation. The one step payoffs in period \(t\) to players 1 and 2 are \(\pi(c_{1,

The “footprints” of irreversibility [PDF]
EPL (Europhysics Letters), 2008 We reformulate the result for the entropy production given in Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 080602 (2007) in terms of the relative entropy of microscopic trajectories. By a combination with the Crook's theorem, we identify the path variables that are sufficient to fully identify irreversibility.

Epistasis between cultural traits causes paradigm shifts in cultural evolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Every now and then the cultural paradigm of a society changes. While current models of cultural shifts usually require a major exogenous or endogenous change, we propose that the mechanism underlying many paradigm shifts may just be an emergent feature ...

The Origins of Irreversibility [PDF]
International Journal of Ecodynamics, 2007 This article is a theoretical contribution dedicated to Boltzmann's theorem revisited in light of the studies of Mario Ageno, late professor of Physics at the University of Rome (La Sapienza), who showed an interesting new point of view on probability and uncertainty in his book The Origins of Irreversibility.

Hidden Dissipation and Irreversibility in Maxwell’s Demon
Entropy, 2022 Maxwell’s demon is an entity in a 150-year-old thought experiment that paradoxically appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics by reducing entropy without doing work.

EPR, time, irreversibility and causality [PDF]
, 2022 Causality is the relationship between causes and effects. Following Relativity, any cause of an event must always be in the past light cone of the event itself, but causes and effect must always be related to some interactions.

The Irreversibility Premium [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008 Abstract When investment is irreversible, theory suggests that firms will be “reluctant to invest.” This reluctance creates a wedge between the discount rate guiding investment decisions and the standard Jorgensonian user cost (adjusted for risk). We use the intertemporal tradeoff between benefits and costs of changing the capital stock to estimate ...
