On the calculating power of Laplace’s demon
We discuss some of the choices that arise when one tries to make the idea of physical determinism more precise. Broadly speaking, ‘ontological’ notions of determinism are parameterized by one’s choice of mathematical ideology, whilst ‘epistemological’ notions of determinism are parameterized by the choice of an appropriate notion of computability. We present some simple examples to show that th...
متن کاملsurvey on the rule of the due & hindering relying on the sheikh ansaris ideas
قاعده مقتضی و مانع در متون فقهی کم و بیش مستند احکام قرار گرفته و مورد مناقشه فقهاء و اصولیین می باشد و مشهور معتقند مقتضی و مانع، قاعده نیست بلکه یکی از مسائل ذیل استصحاب است لذا نگارنده بر آن شد تا پیرامون این قاعده پژوهش جامعی انجام دهد. به عقیده ما مقتضی دارای حیثیت مستقلی است و هر گاه می گوییم مقتضی احراز شد یعنی با ماهیت مستقل خودش محرز گشته و قطعا اقتضاء خود را خواهد داشت مانند نکاح که ...

But Ridley, formerly at Emory University in Atlanta, and now in Oxford, has had another book in his mind for quite some time. He believes there are some ideas sparked by the Austrian monk, Gregor Mendel, that are of broader interest and has set out to explore some of them ...
متن کاملMaxwell’s Demon
This problem is prob. 2 of [1]. One of the earliest conceptual “supercomputers” was Maxwell’s Demon [2], who uses intelligence in sorting molecules to appear to evade the Second Law of Thermodynamics. To place the demon in a computational context, consider a computer “memory” that consists of a set of boxes (bits), each of volume V and each containing a single molecule. A (re)movable partition ...
