Deductive Association Networks [PDF]
we introduce deductive association networks(DANs), a network that performs deductive reasoning. To have high-dimensional thinking, combining various axioms and putting the results back into another axiom is necessary to produce new relationships and results. For example, it would be given two propositions: "Socrates is a man." and "All men are mortals."

Business ethics, law and zemiology: The criminology of social and environmental harm
Abstract This speculative paper introduces zemiology, an extension of radical criminology which explores why many ‘crimes’ are not ‘illegal’ by focussing on the problem of ‘social harm’. Zemiology insists that we should begin with social or environmental problems, and not allow their foreclosure by the distraction of whether a particular practice is ...

Swift J1644+57: An Ultra-Luminous X-ray Event [PDF]
The photon spectral energy distribution of the powerful transient Sw J1644+57 resembles those of the brightest Ultra-Luminous X-ray sources (ULXs). The transient nature of Sw J1644+57 is likely the result of a tidal disruption of a star by a super-massive black hole.

Response to "Concerning Thermal Tides on Hot Jupiters" (Goodman 2009; arXiv: 0901.3279) [PDF]
Motivated by the comments of Goodman (2009) on our paper concerning thermal tides (Arras and Socrates 2009a), we have studied an idealized problem to understand the global response of a completely fluid gas giant planet to thermal forcing at the surface (Arras and Socrates 2009b). Our findings disagree with the main claims in Goodman (2009).

This paper emphasizes the humanistic and phenomenologic approach to the mind (soul, self) and contrasts it to the "era of the brain" that is so idealized by psychiatry today. It describes the debate between those who expect science to explain everything sooner or later and those who believe there are certain essential aspects of the world, such as the ...
