Can we repudiate ontology altogether?

open access: yesNoûs, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 264-292, June 2026.
Abstract Ontological nihilists repudiate ontology altogether, maintaining that ontological structure is an unnecessary addition to our theorizing. Recent defenses of the view involve a sophisticated combination of highly expressive but ontologically innocent languages combined with a metaphysics of features—non‐objectual, complete but modifiable states

A Collapse Result in the Mereology of Properties

open access: yesRatio, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 57-65, June 2026.
ABSTRACT I examine five principles about the metaphysics of properties, each of which has been defended in the literature: (1) the sum of properties is their corresponding conjunctive property, (2) the mereology of properties is classical, (3) properties are individuated by necessary co‐instantiation, (4) sums of objects belonging to different ...

Enhancing Artificial Neural Network Performance for Wildfire Susceptibility Mapping Using Bernstein‐Levy and Multi‐Population Differential Evolution Algorithms

open access: yesTransactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildfire susceptibility mapping (WSM) is critical for forest management, land‐use planning, and disaster risk mitigation. Although hybrid artificial neural network (ANN) models optimized by metaheuristic algorithms are increasingly used in susceptibility mapping, they are often evaluated without strong machine learning benchmarks, spatially ...

Kripke's Reduction of Löb's Theorem to the Second Incompleteness Theorem

open access: yesTheoria, Volume 92, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we discuss Kripke's reduction of Löb's Principle to the Second Incompleteness Theorem. We have a closer look at the non‐constructive character of the reduction. We reflect on what the argument has to tell us. In the Appendix, We give a strengthening of Löb's Principle suggested by Kripke's reduction.

(Co‐)Reference All the Way Down: A Unified Theory of (Pro) Nominals in Ordinary English

open access: yesTheoria, Volume 92, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This essay joins two themes, both arising from Kripke's inspiring ideas in the theory of reference. The first theme concerns reference in general. The second examines the notion of co‐reference and the role it plays in a unified theory of pronouns for natural language.

Cohomogeneity‐one solitons in Laplacian flow: Local, smoothly‐closing and steady solitons

open access: yesJournal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We initiate a systematic study of cohomogeneity‐one solitons in Bryant's Laplacian flow of closed G2$\text{G}_2$‐structures on a 7‐manifold, motivated by the problem of understanding finite‐time singularities of that flow. Here, we focus on solitons with symmetry groups Sp(2)${\rm Sp}(2)$ and SU(3)${\rm SU}(3)$; in both cases, we prove the ...
