Games Without Rules

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is widely assumed that all games essentially have rules. This paper challenges this apparent truism. We argue that rules are merely one means for generating obstacles: features that make success more difficult. We propose that obstacles, not rules, are essential to games. This shift comes with several theoretical benefits.

Algorithmic AI Consciousness

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 ...

In Search of Essentially Predicative Entities

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT According to a Fregean view recently resurgent in higher‐order metaphysics, predicates do not denote objects, construed as any kind of thing a name could denote. Many common routes to that conclusion, however, don't do much to illuminate what it is about names and predicates that should prevent them from both denoting kinds of objects.

On the Limits of Intransitive Coordination

Ratio, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A growing number of authors suggest that concept coordination—the kind of relation we pick out when we say that the concepts of one or more individuals represent something as the same—is not a transitive relation. Here we consider global features of representational systems to break new ground in the assessment of the intransitivity view. From

Dead time, hard time, and narrative redemption: Delimiting the life proper

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract Is every detail of your life a candidate for the meaningful, valuable, or worthwhile? If not, which do you exclude? Thaddeus Metz nominates “dead time”: the nail‐clipping, line‐waiting, traffic‐jam enduring, generally commonplace moments of our life. Dead time, while prevalent, is not remarkable. Metz recommends that we set at least some of it

Superlative Objoid Constructions in British and American English

World Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates regional variation in Superlative Objoid constructions (SOCs) and their prepositional variant (at‐SOCs). SOCs combine a possessive pronoun with a superlative adjective. These function as manner‐degree modifiers in a context where the possessive is in postverbal position and correlative with the subject, as in they tried
