Closure, Causal
8 In biological systems, closure refers to a holistic fea9 ture such that their constitutive processes, operations, 10 and transformations (1) depend on each other for their 11 production and maintenance and (2) collectively con12 tribute to determine the conditions at which the whole 13 ▶ organization can exist. 14 According to several theoretical biologists, the con15 cept of closure captures...
متن کاملExplaining Explanation Closure
Recently Haas Schubert and Reiter have developed an al ternative approach to the frame problem which is based on the idea of using explanation closure axioms The claim is that there is a mono tonic solution for characterizing nonchange in serial worlds with fully speci ed actions where one can have both a succinct representation of frame axioms and an e ective proof theory for the characterizat...
متن کاملCausal Closure for MSC Languages
Message sequence charts (MSCs) are commonly used to specify interactions between agents in communicating systems. Their visual nature makes them attractive for describing scenarios, but also leads to ambiguities that can result in incomplete or inconsistent descriptions. One such problem is that of implied scenarios—a set of MSCs may imply new MSCs which are “locally consistent” with the given ...
متن کاملExplaining Constrains Causal Learning in Childhood.
Three experiments investigate how self-generated explanation influences children's causal learning. Five-year-olds (N = 114) observed data consistent with two hypotheses and were prompted to explain or to report each observation. In Study 1, when making novel generalizations, explainers were more likely to favor the hypothesis that accounted for more observations. In Study 2, explainers favored...
متن کاملCausal Inference and Explaining Away in a Spiking Network
While the brain uses spiking neurons for communication, theoretical research on brain computations has mostly focused on non-spiking networks. The nature of spike-based algorithms that achieve complex computations, such as object probabilistic inference, is largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that a family of high-dimensional quadratic optimization problems with non-negativity constraints can ...
