Yeah, reading habit will not only make you have any favourite activity. It will be one of guidance of your life. When reading has become a habit, you will not make it as disturbing activities or as boring activi...

Searching for Meaning in Complex Databases: An Ecological Perspective

ion attacks complexity by introducing conceptual structures. For example, the “gist” of a story could be preserved even though all the parts (words) were changed. In this sense, the “gist” is an abstraction. Another example is categorization. A category such as “furniture” reflects a relation among objects that cannot be reduced to a list of common parts. Abstractions generally function to high...

An Alternative Perspective on the Meaning of Death

That the scarcity of objects enhances their value is a widely known principle in the behavioral sciences. In addition, research has demonstrated that attaching high value to an object produces biased perceptions of its scarcity. Three studies applied this bidirectional link between scarcity andvalue to themeaningofdeath, testing the prediction that death represents the scarcity of life. In Stud...

Strong Meaning Hypothesis from a Computational Perspective

The English reciprocal expressions each other and one another are common elements of everyday English. In this paper we study the computational complexity of reciprocal sentences with quantified antecedents. We bring attention to possible cognitive consequences of complexity issues in semantics. Particularly, by observing a computational dichotomy between different interpretations of reciprocit...
