Circularity, entropy, ecological conflicts and LFFU

چکیده
The economy is not circular, it increasingly entropic. Energy from the photosynthesis of distant past, fossil fuels, burned and dissipated. Even without further economic growth industrial would need new supplies energy materials extracted “commodity frontiers”, producing also more waste (including excessive amounts greenhouse gases). Therefore, ecological distribution conflicts (EDC) arise all time. Such EDCs are often “valuation contests” displaying incommensurable plural values. Examples Atlas Environmental Justice given coal, oil gas-related in several countries combining local global complaints. Claims for climate justice recognition an debt have been put forward by environmentalists South since 1991, together with a strategy leaving fuels underground (LFFU) through bottom-up movements. This could make substantial contribution to decrease carbon dioxide emissions.

Aligning Economic and Ecological Priorities: Conflicts, Complementarities, and Regulatory Frictions
Four key policy challenges, framed here as dichotomies, are commonly associated with attempts to improve the use of natural resources in the socioecological commons. These dichotomies present tradeoffs when addressing market failures and in general seem to suggest the need to settle for second-best outcomes rather than first-best outcomes identified in stylized models. Citing examples, we argue...
متن کاملEconomic Profitability Versus Ecological Entropy
There is a long-standing trade-off in bioculture between concentrating on high-yield varieties and maintaining sufficient diversity to lower the risks of catastrophic infection. The paper uses a simple ecology-based model of endogenous disease to indicate how a local decision to plant more of a widely grown crop creates negative externalities by increasing the probability that new pathogens wil...
متن کاملConstructive Truth and Circularity
We propose a constructive interpretation of truth which resolves the standard semantic paradoxes. 1. Heuristic concepts In intuitionism the law of excluded middle (LEM) is not accepted because the assignment of truth values to sentences is seen as a kind of open-ended process. Although the validity of any purported proof is supposed to be decidable, the truth value of a given sentence may not b...

We briefly describe the circularity/non-independence problem, and our perception of the impact the ensuing discussion has had on fMRI research.
متن کاملCircularity and Lambda Abstraction
In this tribute to Doaitse Swierstra, we present the first transformation between lazy circular programs à la Bird and strict circular programs à la Pettorossi. Circular programs à la Bird rely on lazy recursive binding: they involve circular unknowns and make sense equationally. Circular programs à la Pettorossi rely on the inductive construction of functions and their eventual application: th...
