If time had no beginning: growth dynamics for past-infinite causal sets
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract We explore whether the growth dynamics paradigm of causal set theory is compatible with past-infinite sets. modify classical sequential Rideout and Sorkin to accommodate ‘into past’ discuss what form physical constraints such as causality could take in this new framework. propose convex-suborders ‘observables’ or ‘physical properties’ a which sets can be use proposal construct manifestly covariant framework for dynamical models

A Classical Sequential Growth Dynamics for Causal Sets
Starting from certain causality conditions and a discrete form of general covariance, we derive a very general family of classically stochastic, sequential growth dynamics for causal sets. The resulting theories provide a relatively accessible “half way house” to full quantum gravity that possibly contains the latter’s classical limit (general relativity). Because they can be expressed in terms...

in some cities in the USA,6 but the general level of health consciousness and the public attitude to family medicine and emergency care are so different in the USA that it is far from clear that American experience is relevant to the United Kingdom. The number of lives that MCCUs can be expected to save in the United Kingdom is therefore small, so establishing MCCU services on a wider basis mus...
متن کاملOrdered sets with no infinite antichains
One approach to analyzing the structure of an ordered set has been to characterize its structure in terms of that of related objects, and vice versa. For example results in [2] characterize in terms of the ordered set P when the lattice Z(P) of lower sets (also called initial segments) of P and the ordered set Id(P) of order ideals (or simply ideals) of P have infinite antichains. The results i...
متن کاملComplete ordered sets with no infinite antichains
There are several standard constructions by which an arbitrary ordered set P is extended to one in which every subset has an. infimum and a supremuma complete ordered set. The collection I(P) of all initial segments of P ordered by inclusion is one. [A subset I of P is an initial segment if, for x, y E P, x E I whenever x s y and y E I.] I(P) is a complete distributive lattice. AnoWr is the fam...
متن کاملTest of time: what if little Albert had escaped?
Watson and Rayner's (1920) ;Little Albert' experiment has become one of the most famous studies in psychology. It is a staple of many general psychology textbooks and is part of the very fabric of the discipline's folklore. Despite this fame, the study has been widely criticized in the nearly 90 years since it was published for its lack of methodological rigour. This article attempts to evaluat...
