The Naturalization of Natural Philosophy [PDF]
Philosophies, 2018 A new demarcation is proposed between Natural Philosophy and non-Natural Philosophy—philosophy tout court—based on whether or not they follow a non-standard logic of real processes. This non-propositional logic, Logic in Reality (LIR), is based on the original work of the Franco-Romanian thinker Stéphane Lupasco (Bucharest, 1900–Paris, 1988).

On Graphs, Groups and Geometry [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 A metric space (X,d) is declared to be natural if (X,d) determines an up to isomorphism unique group structure (X,+) on the set X such that all the group translations and group inversion are isometries. A group is called natural if it emerges like this from a natural metric.

Beyond Bags of Features: Spatial Pyramid Matching for Recognizing Natural Scene Categories
Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2006 This paper presents a method for recognizing scene categories based on approximate global geometric correspondence. This technique works by partitioning the image into increasingly fine sub-regions and computing histograms of local features found inside ...

The classification of 7- and 8-dimensional naturally reductive spaces [PDF]
Can. J. Math.-J. Can. Math. 72 (2020) 1246-1274, 2018 A new method for classifying naturally reductive spaces is presented. This method relies on the structure theory of naturally reductive spaces developed in \cite{Storm2018a} and the new construction of naturally reductive spaces in \cite{Storm2018}. We obtain the classification of all naturally reductive spaces in dimension 7 and 8.

Impacts of nature deprivations during the COVID-19 pandemic: A pre-post comparison [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Nature provides a myriad of intangible and non-material services to people. However, urbanites are increasingly disconnected from the natural world. The consequences of this progressive disconnection from nature remain difficult to measure as this process is slow and long-term monitoring or large-scale manipulation on nature experiences are scarce ...
