It took until the 1960s before there were any clues to an answer. John Bell, a brilliant Irish physicist who did not live to receive the Nobel Prize, devised a scheme to test whether the notion of hidden variables made sense. Bell producedan equation now known as Bell’s inequalit...
Finance is a broad term that describes a variety of activities, but they all boil down to the practice of managing money: getting, spending, and everything in between, from borrowing to investing. Finance also refers to the tools and instruments people use in relation to money and the system...
I use the notion of supervenience as it allows presenting the main point in a more perspicuous way. Nothing substantial for the purposes of my reasoning, however, hangs on this particular choice. There is a recent trend in metaphysics based on the idea that modal notions are not suitable for...
Although my contributions to this thread so far have been to defend the use of geometrical language, I think there is something for us pro-geometers to take heed of from @vanhees71's criticisms, and that is that I think we (including myself) may sometimes be guilty of launching into geo...
LEMMA 1.2. Let j be a first order definable formula in the language of M whose free variables are among x1,...,xn, n ≥ 0. Then the function f(x1,...,xn) = 1 if M |= j(x1,...,xn); 0 otherwise, lies in V. Proof: We prove the following by induction on j. For all ...
"'It's just semantics' is a common retort people use when arguing their point. What they mean is that their argument or opinion is more valid than the other person's. It's a way to be dismissive of language itself as carrier for ideas. It implies that ideas and arguments can be sepa...
In the latter language the quasi-particles are associated to the rapidities λ, which are related to the lattice momentum through(109)[Math Processing Error] It follows from the Bethe equations that the Bethe rapidities are either real or they have imaginary part equal to [Math Processing ...
formulas as a first step towards a formalization of chemistry-like networks, and show that conservation of matter is already sufficient to guarantee the existence of such chemistry-like representations. Finally we discuss the consequences of the mathematical results for the construction of random RNs ...
What does the upside down 'v' mean in math? Provide an example. What is the difference between a sine function and a cosine function? What is (2x+4) (x-4)? What does 4C2 = 6" mean in plain language? What does yatahey mean in Navajo? How can you condense this equation? ln(3x...
In particular, we revisit the completeness results in [7], and show that the notion of reduction introduced in this latter paper is too strong, and may allow a language outside NLD to be reduced to a language in NLD. We introduce a more restricted form of local reduction, called label-...
