Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Virtue epistemology has long struggled with the “Creditability Dilemma”: how can knowledge gained through deference be creditable to the knower if it primarily depends on others’ cognitive work? We propose a novel solution by developing a telic account of doxastic deference as a distinctive kind of social‐epistemic performance.

A Study of Entanglement in a Categorical Framework of Natural Language [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2014 In both quantum mechanics and corpus linguistics based on vector spaces, the notion of entanglement provides a means for the various subsystems to communicate with each other.

Nature's Complexity Alive: Farewell to Several Unificatory Cosmological Arguments for Monism
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Throughout history, numerous thinkers have claimed that monism—in the form of priority monism, existence monism, monotheistic monism, or versions that posit an extra‐cosmic ultimate being—theoretically surpasses pluralism, above all by positing a unified universe.

On Ontological Alternatives to Bohmian Mechanics
Entropy, 2018 The article describes an interpretation of the mathematical formalism of standard quantum mechanics in terms of relations. In particular, the wave function ψ(x) is interpreted as a complex-valued relation between an entity (often called &ldquo ...

The Problem of Psychonomic Harmony
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The problem of nomological harmony is the problem of explaining why the laws of nature match or apply to the states of the universe in a way that results in temporal evolution. The problem of psychophysical harmony is the problem of explaining why phenomenal states are paired with physical states and other phenomenal states in surprisingly ...

Highlighting the Mechanism of the Quantum Speedup by Time-Symmetric and Relational Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
Foundations of Physics, 2015 Bob hides a ball in one of four drawers. Alice is to locate it. Classically she has to open up to three drawers, quantally just one. The fundamental reason for this quantum speedup is not known. The usual representation of the quantum algorithm is limited to the process of solving the problem. We extend it to the process of setting the problem.

Heterogeneous relational message passing networks for molecular dynamics simulations
npj Computational Materials, 2022 With many frameworks based on message passing neural networks proposed to predict molecular and bulk properties, machine learning methods have tremendously shifted the paradigms of computational sciences underpinning physics, material science, chemistry,

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper, I argue that the thoroughly algorithmic nature of current AI systems (such as LLMs) is no obstacle to their being conscious, despite strong apparent reasons to the contrary. To this end, I present a picture on which algorithmic AI systems comprise dispositional properties that realize categorical phenomenal properties where the ...

Uncertainty relation in quantum mechanics with quantum group symmetry [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Physics, 1994 The commutation relations, uncertainty relations, and spectra of position and momentum operators were studied within the framework of quantum group symmetric Heisenberg algebras and their (Bargmann) Fock representations. As an effect of the underlying noncommutative geometry, a length and a momentum scale appear, leading to the existence of nonzero ...
