Imagine the Possibilities Information without Overload

Information is often modelled as a set of relevant possibilities, treated as logically possible worlds. However, this has the unintuitive consequence that the logical consequences of an agent’s information cannot be informative for that agent. There are many scenarios in which such consequences are clearly informative for the agent in question. Attempts to weaken the logic underlying each possi...

INTRODUCTION Guttiferae (Clusiaceae) is a family of mainly tropical plants that comprises about 40 genera and 1200 species most of which are woody. The plants of the family are generally characterized by the presence of latex in most of their tissue 1. Phytochemical investigations of C. rosea 2, C. nemorosa 3, and C. grandiflora 4 have revealed the presence of polyisoprenylated benzophenones in...

Imagine a world without borders: an immunologist's thoughts on Brexit

D id you know that the mafia was started in Sicily as a civil organization to protect the interests of local business from foreign governments far away on the Continent? Does this sound familiar to those who voted for Brexit? Yet, the mafia morphed into an ugly monster fueled by fear, hatred, greed, and a thirst for power. The Allies revived the organization after World War II because they had ...

Phantom without UV pathology

We present a simple model in which the weak energy condition is violated for spatially homogeneous, slowly evolving fields. The excitations about Lorentz-violating background in Minkowski space do not contain ghosts, tachyons or superluminal modes at spatial momenta ranging from some low scale ǫ to the UV cutoff scale, while tachyons and possibly ghosts do exist at p2 < ǫ2. We show that in the ...
