Locating possible sources of physical indeterminism [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Some possible (re)sources of indeterminism and randomness encountered in physics are enumerated. These gaps in the physical laws, if they exist, could possibly be exploited for dualistic interfaces. We also speculate that physical laws and order could possibly emerge from primordial chaos by means resembling statistics and Ramsey theory.

QCD Axion and Dark Energy [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 String allowed discrete symmetry is the mother of acceptable effective global symmetries at low energy. With this philosophy, we discuss dark energy, QCD axion, and inflation, and speculate some implications of the recent BICEP2 data.

Assessing Agricultural Green Total Factor Productivity in Latin America
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The agricultural sector in Latin America plays a vital role in ensuring food security while impacting the environment. However, there remains a lack of analysis regarding the inputs responsible for pollution within its sub‐technologies. Hence, this article aims to assess agricultural green total factor productivity (TFP) through a novel ...

Power, Possibility, and Agency: Speculative Realism and Whitehead’s Theory of Relations
Eidos. A Journal for Philosophy of Culture, 2020 At the turn of the twentieth century, the debate between supporters of internal and external relations showed how our assumptions on the nature of relations result in ontological, epistemic, and ethical commitments. In this debate, Alfred North Whitehead

Taking physical infinity seriously [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The concept of infinity took centuries to achieve recognized status in the field of mathematics, despite the fact that it was implicitly present in nearly all mathematical endeavors. Here I explore the idea that a similar development might be warranted in physics.

A perspective on the landscape problem [PDF]
, 2012 I discuss the historical roots of the landscape problem and propose criteria for its successful resolution. This provides a perspective to evaluate the possibility to solve it in several of the speculative cosmological scenarios under study including eternal inflation, cosmological natural selection and cyclic cosmologies.

Critical Idealism and Transcendental Materialism: A Speculative Analysis of the Second Paralogism [PDF]
, 2011 This paper argues that the critical doctrine of the necessary unity of the thinking subject propounded in Kant's Second Paralogism contains an idealist commitment to the metaphysically exceptional nature of the unifying activity of thought.
