Many infinities, or only one?

چکیده

In this short note we first account for Aristotle's views on infinity, by clarifying the way his notion of potential infinity should be understood, in light entelechy. We then present four distinct ways which mathematicians attempted to tame actual and ask question whether they are indeed different ways, or ultimately variations same concept. suggest that what doing is find a construct form subsumes, into itself, observe how presence former brings view about than Aristotle's.

How many positions can we perceptually encode, one or many?

Here we show that our sensitivity for discriminating relative position across the visual field is limited. In experiment 1 we show that we are much worse at detecting a texture defined by the relative position of elements within an array than would be expected if we had access to multiple estimates of relative position across the visual field. In experiment 2 we show that human performance is i...

Process Modelling Languages: One or Many?

The paper describes the different phases and subdomains of process modelling and their needs for conceptual and linguistic support, and in what forms. We group the relevant factors into three dimensions: meta-process phases, process elements, and the tool/user views. In the first dimension, we focus on enactable process models. For such models, we describe the design alternatives for a core pro...

Tauopathies : One Disease or Many ? Manon

common the accumulation of insoluble hyperphosphorylated tau protein in the brain. More than 20 different degenerative disorders are characterized by some degree of neurofibrillary degeneration and can be classified as tauopathies1 (Table 1). In prototypical tauopathies like progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), Pick disease or frontotemporal dementia with parki...

Cancellation of ultra-violet infinities in one loop gravity

The diploma was in Russian, it was never published. Recently Faddeev found a reference to my result by an editor in Feynman’s lectures on gravitation [1] (the reference is on page xxxvii of the book). The scan of original diploma can be found in the first line of the webpage [2]. The result was obtained simultaneously with G. t’Hooft M. Veltman, see [3] . The translation of the diploma follows ...

Fe b 20 03 One loop vacuum polarization without infinities

A technique for avoiding infinite integrals in the calculation of the one-loop diagram contribution to the vacuum polarization component of an atomic energy level is presented. This makes renormalization unnecessary. Infinite integrals do not occur because, as it is shown, no delta functions are required for the Green’s functions. Thus there are none to overlap. This procedure is shown to produ...
