Knowledge, Trade-Offs, and Tracking Truth
There are so many ideas in Roush’s dashing yet meticulous book that it is hard to confine oneself to a manageable menu of issues. Here I will reluctantly omit discussion of scientific realism, fallibilism, contextualism, and much else. My focus will be on one core part of Roush’s account of the ‘‘tracking’’ of facts, and the relation between tracking and knowledge. In approaching rival ‘‘theori...

متن کاملKnowledge Representation and Modelling: Structures and Trade-Offs
As explained in chapter 5, self-aware and self-expressive systems can be designed based on a number of patterns and primitives. In this chapter, we discuss issues to be considered when developing such systems, specially when going through phases 3 (selecting the best pattern) and 5 (determining primitives and alternatives), and possibly also phase 7 (score alternative primitives) of the methodo...
متن کاملTrade-offs in Thailand.
P roteomics is defined as the protein complement of the genome and involves the complete analysis of all the proteins in a given sample [1,2]. Several technologies are involved, and numerous questions concerning the proteins are addressed. What proteins are contained in a biological sample? At what concentration do the proteins exist? How do protein expression levels alter in different samples?...
متن کاملHow evolution draws trade-offs
Recent empirical evidence suggest that tradeoff shapes can evolve, challenging the classica image of their high entrenchment. Here we model the evolution of the physiological mechanism that controls the allocation of resources to two traits, by mutating the expression and the conformation of its constitutive hormones and receptors. We show that trade-off shapes do indeed evolve in this model th...
