Interpreted Trajectories
We introduce generalized trajectories where the individual symbols are interpreted as operations performed on the operand words. The various previously considered trajectory-based operations can all be expressed in this formalism. It is shown that the generalized operations can simulate Turing machine computations. We consider the equivalence problem and a notion of unambiguity that is sufficie...
متن کاملInterpreted Nets
The nets considered here are an extension of Petri nets in two aspects. In the semantical aspect, there is no one firing rule common to all transitions, but every transition is treated as an operator on data stored in its entry places and return results in its exit places. A state (marking) is a mapping of places (variables) into a given data structure, while interpretation is a mapping of tran...
متن کاملIs eternal youth scientifically plausible?
18 As the popular saying goes, the only certain things in life are death and taxes. Given its inevitability, it is no surprise that death—and the ageing process that precedes it—has fascinated humans for centuries. However, it is only with the development of modern science that we are now beginning to understand why our bodies grow older and more frail until we eventually die. As theories have ...
متن کاملHow to study consciousness scientifically.
The neurosciences have advanced to the point that we can now treat consciousness as a scientific problem like any other. The problem is to explain how brain processes cause consciousness and how consciousness is realized in the brain. Progress is impeded by a number of philosophical mistakes, and the aim of this paper is to remove nine of those mistakes: (i) consciousness cannot be defined; (ii...
متن کاملHow to Scale Up Scientifically
www.pharmtech.com rational approach to scale-up has been used in the physical sciences for quite some time. This approach, called dimensional analysis, is a proven method of developing functional relationships that describe any given process in a dimensionless form to facilitate modeling and scale-up or scale-down. This short article reviews and demonstrates the dimensional analysis method as a...
