Determinism beyond time evolution

چکیده
Physicists are increasingly beginning to take seriously the possibility of laws outside traditional time-evolution paradigm; yet many popular definitions determinism still predicated on a picture, making them manifestly unsuited diverse range research programmes in modern physics. In this article, we use constraint-based framework set out generalization which does not presuppose temporal evolution, distinguishing between strong, weak and delocalised holistic determinism. We discuss some interesting consequences these generalized notions determinism, show that approach sheds new light long-standing debate surrounding nature objective chance.

Co-evolution, Determinism and Robustness
Robustness has long been recognised as a critical issue for coevolutionary learning. It has been achieved in a number of cases, though usually in domains which involve some form of non-determinism. We examine a deterministic domain { a pseudo real-time two-player game called Tron { and evolve a neural network player using a simple hillclimbing algorithm. The results call into question the impor...
متن کاملTime and Determinism
This paper gives an overview of logico-philosophical issues of time and determinism. After a brief review of historical roots and 20th century developments, three current research areas are discussed: the definition of determinism, space-time indeterminism, and the temporality of individual things and their possibilities.

متن کاملDeterminism in Financial Time Series
The attractive possibility that financial indices may be chaotic has been the subject of much study. In this paper we address two specific questions: “Masked by stochasticity, do financial data exhibit deterministic nonlinearity?”, and “If so, so what?”. We examine daily returns from three financial indicators: the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the London gold fixings, and the USD-JPY exchange ...
متن کاملGuaranteed Weighted Counting for Affinity Computation: Beyond Determinism and Structure
Computing the constant Z that normalizes an arbitrary distribution into a probability distribution is a difficult problem that has applications in statistics, biophysics and probabilistic reasoning. In biophysics, it is a prerequisite for the computation of the binding affinity between two molecules, a central question for protein design. In the case of a discrete stochastic Graphical Model, th...
