Mereology and Rough Mereology: Rough Mereological Granulation
In this chapter, we embark on a more specific granulation theory, stemming from the mereological theory of things. This mechanism provides us with tolerance and weak tolerance relations forming a graded similarity in the sense of Chap.1 and with resulting therefrom granules. To put the necessary notions in a proper order, we are going to discuss mereology, rough mereology and the mereological g...
متن کاملValue of Travel Time :Theoretical and Empirical Method
The value of travel time savings (VTTS) is the monetary value attached to save a determined amount of travel time. VTTS is also the most important benefit category aimed at justifying investments in transport infrastructures by public administrations. Hence VTTS played a significant role in various economic studies, both analytical and empirical (Zamparini & Reggiani, 2007). "It is difficult to...
متن کاملMereology, Modality and Magic
If the property being a methane molecule is a universal, then it is a structural universal: objects instantiate being a methane molecule just in case they have the right sorts of proper parts arranged in the right sort of way. Lewis argued that there can be no satisfactory account of structural universals; in this paper I provide a satisfactory account.
متن کاملContext Mereology
We show that under a small number of assumptions, it is possible to interpret truth in a context as a quantification over truth in 'atomic' or pointlike contexts, which are transparent to all the connectives. We discuss the necessary assumptions and suggest conditions under which they are intuitively reasonable. Introduction This note is inspired by the context logic originally introduced by J....
متن کاملTime Travel and Time Machines
This paper is an enquiry into the logical, metaphysical, and physical possibility of time travel understood in the sense of the existence of closed worldlines that can be traced out by physical objects. We argue that none of the purported paradoxes rule out time travel either on grounds of logic or metaphysics. More relevantly, modern spacetime theories such as general relativity seem to permit...
