Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract This essay, designed as a complement to opinions expressed by Rowan Williams and some speakers at the conference in his honour, explores features of early Christianity which suggest a positive evaluation of artificial intelligence. Noting that the fear of reducing humans to machines has been joined in the modern age by the fear that machines ...

Is A Little Learning Dangerous?
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT I argue that a little learning is often dangerous even for ideal reasoners who are operating in extremely simple scenarios and know all the relevant facts about how the evidence is generated. More precisely, I show that, on many plausible ways of assigning value to a credence in a hypothesis H, ideal Bayesians should sometimes expect other ...

Life, but Not as We Know It: Why Fine‐Tuning Arguments Fail
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Definitions of “life” and theories of life are systematically neglected in arguments for and from fine‐tuning. Despite claims to be neutral about the definition of “life,” fine‐tuning arguments generally presuppose that life requires a form of structural complexity only afforded by physicochemical complexity of the sort with which we are ...

3D Turing nanowrinkles via anisotropic photopolymerization
International Journal of Extreme ManufacturingInspired by the diverse wrinkled surface patterns in nature, micro-nano scale wrinkled surfaces have become an essential part of materials science. Nowadays, it is still a challenge to flexibly fabricate three-dimensional (3D) nanowrinkled structures ...

The richness, frequency and relatedness components of mate diversity and mate portfolios
New Phytologist, EarlyView.The effects of (a) equal and (b, c) unequal contributions to mate portfolios by 10 mates on (d) Hill‐number mate diversity profiles (see Eqn 1). Summary Sexual reproduction produces genetically diverse families, especially when individuals mate with multiple partners.

Landscape description of the dynamics of Turing patterns
Physical Review ETuring patterns are a well-studied model of reaction-diffusion equations for developmental patterning. Their applicability has often been limited by the difficulty in identifying candidate molecules that satisfy the requisite criteria for patterning. Here, we build on recent work on geometric models to describe Turing patterning as a potential flow. We

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Joint inquiry requires agents to exchange public content about some target domain, which in turn requires them to track which content a linguistic form contributes to a conversation. But, often, the inquiry delivers a necessary truth. For example, if we are inquiring whether a particular bird, Tweety, is a woodpecker, and discover that it is ...

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT I discuss conditions under which maximizing a proxy utility function is harmful and suggest this poses problems for applying decision theory.

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, there was no statutory difference between cartography, drawing and painting. These activities were performed then by craftsmen who were part of a vast group under the umbrella of ‘mechanical arts’ and fell under the ‘artifex’ category. Artifex were experts in any particular art, whether a craftsman,

Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2013 This article studies the effect of the inclusion of the transport term in the reaction-diffusion equations, through toroidal velocity fields. The formation of Turing patterns in diffusion-advection-reaction problems is studied specifically, considering ...
