Deontic Logic, Ideal Worlds, and Perfect Worlds [PDF]

, 2013
Las interpretaciones semánticas más fructíferas que se han ofrecido de los diversos sistemas axiomáticos de lógica deóntica se valen de la semántica de mundos posibles. Sin embargo, existen serios cuestionamientos contra dicha reconstrucción semántica en

Everettian quantum mechanics without branching time [PDF]

, 2011
In this paper I assess the prospects for combining contemporary Everettian quantum mechanics (EQM) with branching-time semantics in the tradition of Kripke, Prior, Thomason and Belnap.

Possible worlds and resources: the semantics of BI

Theoretical Computer Science, 2004
AbstractThe logic of bunched implications, BI, is a substructural system which freely combines an additive (intuitionistic) and a multiplicative (linear) implication via bunches (contexts with two combining operations, one which admits Weakening and Contraction and one which does not). BI may be seen to arise from two main perspectives. On the one hand,

Safety, the Preface Paradox and Possible Worlds Semantics [PDF]

, 2019
This paper contains an argument to the effect that possible worlds semantics renders semantic knowledge impossible, no matter what ontological interpretation is given to possible worlds.

Clustering Algorithm Reveals Dopamine‐Motor Mismatch in Cognitively Preserved Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore the relationship between dopaminergic denervation and motor impairment in two de novo Parkinson's disease (PD) cohorts. Methods n = 249 PD patients from Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) and n = 84 from an external clinical cohort.

Ceteris paribus logic in counterfactual reasoning

, 2016
The semantics for counterfactuals due to David Lewis has been challenged on the basis of unlikely, or impossible, events. Such events may skew a given similarity order in favour of those possible worlds which exhibit them.

Possible world semantics for analogous reasoning [PDF]

, 1996
Analogous reasoning is a form of reasoning that is often used in daily life situations. It is also a form of reasoning that appears in certain AI applications such as learning and knowledge acquisition. Mostly a kind of quantitative notion of (dissimilarity is employed.

Fluid Biomarkers of Disease Burden and Cognitive Dysfunction in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Identifying objective biomarkers for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is crucial to improving diagnosis and establishing clinical trial and treatment endpoints. This study evaluated fluid biomarkers in PSP versus controls and their associations with regional 18F‐PI‐2620 tau‐PET, clinical, and cognitive outcomes.

Phenomenological Actualism. A Husserlian Metaphysics of Modality? [PDF]

, 2014
Considering the importance of possible-world semantics for modal logic and for current debates in the philosophy of modality, a phenomenologist may want to ask whether it makes sense to speak of “possible worlds” in phenomenology.

Philosophical Issues From Kripke's 'Semantical Considerations on Modal Logic' [PDF]

, 2016
In ‘Semantical Considerations on Modal Logic’, Kripke articulates his project in the discourse of “possible worlds”. There has been much philosophical discussion of whether endorsement of the Kripke semantics brings ontological commitment to possible ...
