چکیده

Abstract Building on Nozick's invariantism about objectivity, I propose to define scientific objectivity in terms of counterfactual independence. will argue that such a independence account is (a) able overcome the decisive shortcomings original and (b) applicable three paradigmatic kinds (that is, as replication, robustness, Mertonian universalism).

"Just say no": experts' late withdrawal from cases to preserve independence and objectivity.

An expert's decision to withdraw from a case at a late stage is an important and serious step with both forensic and ethical consequences. Preservation of a mutual right to terminate services at will is an essential (but all too often neglected) element of forensic work that can aid in immunizing the expert from threats to independence and objectivity. The authors examine the foundations of suc...

Complexity Barriers as Independence

After many years of effort, the main questions of complexity theory remain unresolved, even though the concepts involved are simple. Understanding the main idea behind the statement of the “P vs NP” problem does not require much background (“is it easier to check answers than to produce them?”). Yet, we are as far from resolving it as ever. Much work has been done to unravel the intricate struc...

Multi-objectivity as a Tool for Constructing Hierarchical Complexity

This paper presents a novel perspective to the use of multiobjective optimization and in particular evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMO) as a measure of complexity. We show that the partial order feature that is being inherited in the Pareto concept exhibits characteristics which are suitable for studying and measuring the complexities of embodied organisms. We also show that multi-o...

Girth, minimum degree, independence, and broadcast independence

An independent broadcast on a connected graph $G$is a function $f:V(G)to mathbb{N}_0$such that, for every vertex $x$ of $G$, the value $f(x)$ is at most the eccentricity of $x$ in $G$,and $f(x)>0$ implies that $f(y)=0$ for every vertex $y$ of $G$ within distance at most $f(x)$ from $x$.The broadcast independence number $alpha_b(G)$ of $G$is the largest weight $sumlimits_{xin V(G)}f(x)$of an ind...
