Perceiving Minds and Gods: How Mind Perception Enables, Constrains, and Is Triggered by Belief in Gods.
Most people believe in the existence of empirically unverifiable gods. Despite apparent heterogeneity, people's conceptions of their gods center on predictable themes. Gods are overwhelmingly represented as intentional agents with (more or less) humanlike mental lives. This article reviews converging evidence suggesting that this regularity in god concepts exists in part because the ability to ...
متن کاملGhosts of ghosts for second class constraints
When one uses the Dirac bracket, second class constraints become first class. Hence, they are amenable to the BRST treatment characteristic of ordinary first class constraints.

However, because second class constraints identically vanish as operators ...

Lecture 10 on Differential Equations & Differential Invariants and Lecture 11 on Differential Equations & Proofs equipped us with powerful tools for proving properties of differential equations without having to solve them. Differential invariants (dI) [Pla10a, Pla12] prove properties of differential equations by induction based on the right-hand side of the differential equation, rather than i...
