Probability as a Physical Motive
Recent theoretical progress in nonequilibrium thermodynamics, linking the physical principle of Maximum Entropy Production (“MEP”) to the information-theoretical “MaxEnt” principle of scientific inference, together with conjectures from theoretical physics that there may be no fundamental causal laws but only probabilities for physical processes, and from evolutionary theory that biological sys...
متن کاملStatus Concerns as a Motive for Crime?
This paper analyzes the implications of potential offenders caring about their relative status. We establish that subjects’ status concerns can result in multiple-equilibrium crime rates and may modify the standard comparative-statics results regarding how the crime rate changes in response to a higher detection probability and higher sanctions. In addition, we argue that the socially optimal l...

I will then relate this to L2 learners, in order to ask what we can realistically expect students to do on their own, with and without help from technology, a...

In this paper, we aim to answer these questions by providing a computational model that offers an internal perspective on character motives in stories. This model allows us to represent the deliberati...
