The Material Logics of Confirmation
The paper explores the material spaces and logics of religious learning processes. A discrepancy between religious educators and the 14-year-old confirmands was evident during a 1 year of ethnographic fieldwork. A material semiotic approach provides important perspectives on the dynamics between material and human actors in religious learning context. The findings suggest that different notions...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Stateful Material Implication Logic
Monolithic three-dimensional integration of memory and logic circuits could dramatically improve performance and energy efficiency of computing systems. Some conventional and emerging memories are suitable for vertical integration, including highly scalable metaloxide resistive switching devices (“memristors”), yet integration of logic circuits proves to be much more challenging. Here we demons...
متن کاملSugar-based molecular computing by material implication.
A method to integrate an (in principle) unlimited number of molecular logic gates to construct complex circuits is presented. Logic circuits, such as half- or full-adders, can be reinterpreted by using the functional completeness of the implication function (IMP) and the trivial FALSE operation. The molecular gate IMP is represented by a fluorescent boronic acid sugar probe. An external wiring ...
متن کاملScientific Reasoning Is Material Inference: Combining Confirmation, Discovery, and Explanation
Whereas an inference (deductive as well as inductive) is usually viewed as being valid in virtue of its argument form, the present paper argues that scientific reasoning is material inference, i.e., justified in virtue of its content. A material inference is licensed by the empirical content embodied in the concepts contained in the premisses and conclusion. Understanding scientific reasoning a...
متن کاملCounterfactuals
Counterfactuals arc a form of commonsense non-monotonic inference that has been of long-term interest to philosophers. In this paper, we begin by describing some of the impact counterfactuals can be exported to have in artif icial intelligence, and by reviewing briefly some of the philosophical conclusions which have been drawn about them. Philosophers have noted that the content of any particu...
