The Improbability Scale
The Improbability Scale (IS) is proposed as a way of communicating to the general public the improbability (and by implication, the probability) of events predicted as the result of scientific research. Through the use of the Improbability Scale, the public will be able to evaluate more easily the relative risks of predicted events and draw proper conclusions when asked to support governmental ...
متن کاملOn the Improbability of Reaching Byzantine Agreements
It is well known that for the Byzantine Generals Problem, no deterministic protocol can exist for an n-processor system if the number t of faulty processors is allowed to be as large as ni3. In this paper we investigate the maximum achievable agreement probability p,,, in a model in which the faulty processors can be as devious and powerful as possible. We also discuss a restricted model with p...
متن کاملModeling the Improbability of Communication
Communication is ubiquitous. According to social systems theory [Luhmann 1995], it is nevertheless highly improbable – and indeed a problem to begin with. This paper therefore describes the emergence of communication in terms of three improbabilities: (1) co-presence of communication partners, (2) their misunderstanding of each other, and (3) the successful conveyance of information. A framewor...
متن کاملImprobability Filtering for Rejecting False Positives
In this paper we describe a novel approach, called improbability filtering, to rejecting false-positive observations from degrading the tracking performance of an Extended Kalman-Bucy fdter. False-positives, incorrect observations reported with a high confidence, are a form of non-Gaussian white noise and therefore degrade the tracking performance of an Extended Kalman-Bucy Filter. Improbabilit...
متن کاملImprobability of DUrca process constraints EOS
According to recent observational and theoretical progresses, the DUrca process (direct Urca process) may be excluded from the category of neutron star cooling mechanisms. This result combined with the latest nuclear symmetry energy experiments, will provide us an independent way of testing the EOS (equation of state) for supernuclear density. For example, soft EOSs such as FPS will probably be...
