Can Stable Social Groups Be Maintained by Homophilous Imitation Alone?
A central problem in the biological and social sciences concerns the conditions required for emergence and maintenance of cooperation among unrelated individuals. Most models and experiments have been pursued in a game-theoretic context and involve reward or punishment. Here we show that such payoffs are unnecessary, and that stable social groups can sometimes be maintained provided simply that...
متن کاملHow much in the Universe can be explained by geometry ?
The paper uses geometrical arguments to derive equations with relevance for cosmology; 5-dimensional spacetime is assumed because it has been shown in other works to provide a setting for significant unification of different areas of physics. Monogenic functions, which zero the vector derivative are shown to effectively model electrodynamics and relativistic dynamics if one allows for space cur...
متن کاملCan Nomenclature for the Body be Explained by Embodiment Theories?
According to widespread opinion, the meaning of body part terms is determined by salient discontinuities in the visual image; such that hands, feet, arms, and legs, are natural parts. If so, one would expect these parts to have distinct names which correspond in meaning across languages. To test this proposal, we compared three unrelated languages-Dutch, Japanese, and Indonesian-and found both ...
متن کاملCan subcellular organization be explained only by physical principles?
In a recent forum article, Dan Needleman and Jan Brugues argue that, despite the astonishing advances in cell biology, a fundamental understanding of even the most well-studied subcellular biological processes is lacking.(1) This lack of understanding is evidenced by our inability to make precise predictions of subcellular and cellular behaviors. They suggest that to achieve such an understandi...
متن کاملWhat's Up can be Explained by Language Statistics
Embodied cognition studies have demonstrated that when words found in high physical locations (e.g., bird) are positioned at the top of a screen they are processed faster than when they are positioned at the bottom of the screen. The reverse effect is obtained for words found in low physical locations (e.g., fish). This concept-location facilitation effect has been argued to demonstrate that co...
