When it comes to creative technique, cover artist Rick Spix will sometimes have a plan in mind while other times implement a more improvised trial-and-error approach. Spix says that the Ultrafractal program lets him simply create art the way he wants to.

Bioethics, 1988
Abstract 5.1 Can we have duties to people who will never actually exist? That the answer is ‘No’ has seemed obvious to many writers. I shall be arguing to the contrary that, where we have a choice between bringing someone into existence and not doing so, the interests of that possible person have to be con sidered.

Synthese, 2015
We previously stated an impossibility result and suggested that the standard approaches to vagueness were incapable of providing a satisfactory response to the result. This chapter considers how a more satisfactory response to the result might proceed. This will call for a radical revision in our general understanding of vagueness and in how its logic ...

The Possibilities for Possibility Theory
1982Possibility theory is discussed as an extension of probability theory arising from the need to express subjective information quantitatively in linguistic terms, but without the restrictions of probability numbers. The concept of fuzzy sets is introduced as the basis of possibility theory and the broad scope of applications is mentioned.

Fiona Schrading beschreibt in ihrem Beitrag, wie ›Zukunft‹ im Anthropozän als ›gemeinsames Projekt des Menschen‹ inszeniert wird und fragt nach einem anderen Möglichen, das den universalistischen Zeitpfeil durchbrechen könnte. Ein anderes Mögliches ist vielleicht dann möglich, wenn wir das hegemoniale Mögliche der ›one-world world‹ aktiv verlernen und ...

On The Possibility Of Possible Worlds
Canadian Journal of Philosophy, 1975The notion of possible worlds — once an abstruse offspring of Leibnizian theology — seems to enjoy a new lease on life in the hands of contemporary modal logicians and semanticists. The phrase “possible world” crops up with increasing frequency, and, as it is the case with many philosophical catchwords, its very familarity creates a presumption of ...

SIAM Review, 2007
How does one determine a surface which is as flat as possible, such as those created by soap film surfaces? What does it mean to be as flat as possible? In this paper we address this question from two distinct points of view, one local and one global in nature.

Possible Worlds and Possible Individuals
2023Abstract While this book endorses an ontological commitment to propositions, properties, and relations, it rejects a commitment to the existence of merely possible worlds or merely possible individuals. The aim of this chapter is to reconcile the rejection of these ontological commitments with a model theory for modal logic that seems to

Nature, 1967
Mangum and Schopf1 claim on the basis of their calculations that the diffusion of oxygen into the body of an ectoproct is insufficient to supply the animal with its respiratory needs. They conclude that the periodic contraction of an ectoproct circulates its coelomic fluid.
