A Formal Theory of Physical Necessity
A system HW of normal modal logic, developed by R. Bigelow & R. Pargetter is presented. Some formal issues concerning the system are examined, such as completeness, number of distinct modalities and relations to other systems. Some philosophical topics are also discussed. The Authors interpret the system HW as the system of physical (nomic) modalities. It is questioned, whether or not the syste...
متن کاملOccam’s Razor as a formal basis for a physical theory
We introduce the principle of Occam’s Razor in a form which can be used as a basis for economical formulations of physics. This allows us to explain the general structure of the Lagrangian for a composite physical system, as well as some other artificial postulates behind the variational formulations of physical laws. As an example, we derive Hamilton’s principle of stationary action together w...

15 صفحه اولA Formal Theory of Resilience
Over the past decade, the concept of resilience has gained momentum in climate change and disaster research. Although the relevance of resilience in dealing with environmental changes has been acknowledged by these communities, an impasse in research occurs when trying to extract the crux of resilience and transform it into an implementable entity in vulnerability assessments and information sy...
متن کاملA Formal Theory of Justifications
We develop an abstract theory of justifications suitable for describing the semantics of a range of logics in knowledge representation, computational and mathematical logic. A theory or program in one of these logics induces a semantical structure called a justification frame. Such a justification frame defines a class of justifications each of which embodies a potential reason why its facts ar...
