Non-realism : deep thought or a soft option ?
In recent years the violation of Bell’s inequality has often been interpreted as either a failure of locality or of realism (or of both). The problem with such a claim is that it is not clear what realism in this context should mean. Sometimes realism is defined as the hypothesis that every physical quantity always has a value and that measurements merely reveal these predetermined values. That...
متن کاملComment on ‘Non-realism: deep thought or a soft option?’, by N. Gisin
It is briefly demonstrated that Gisin’s so-called ‘locality’ assumption [in http://arxiv.org/abs/0901.4255] is in fact equivalent to the existence of a local deterministic model. Thus, despite Gisin’s suggestions to the contrary, ‘local realism’ in the sense of Bell is built into his argument from the very beginning. His ‘locality’ assumption may more appropriately be labelled ‘separability,’ c...
متن کاملMetaphysical Realism and Thought
In this paper I identify some unexplored implications of content externalism. The implications can be traced to the role that metaphysical realism plays in some of the standard arguments for content externalism. I do not regard these implications as undermining the case for externalism. I identify them, rather, as part of an attempt at honest accounting: the revisionary nature of content extern...
متن کاملRho deep in thought.
Neuronal communication underlies all aspects of brain function, including learning, memory, and consciousness. How neurons communicate is controlled by both the formation of neuronal connections during neural development and the regulation of neuronal activity in the adult brain. Rho GTPases have a well-known role in neuronal development, and recent studies published in Genes & Development (Ste...
متن کاملSymbolic Collection Using Deep Thought
We describe the “Deep Thought” algorithm, which can, among other things, take a commutator presentation for a finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent group G, and produce explicit polynomials for the multiplication of elements of G. These polynomials were first shown to exist by Philip Hall, and allow for “symbolic collection” in finitely generated nilpotent groups. We discuss various practic...
