On the Universality of Creativity in the Liberal Arts
This is the first time, in a formal structured way, I've been asked to speak before a group of academicians on this set of issues. It is a great honor to be invited to speak on behalf of one of the two “culture’ mentioned in the commentary by C.P. Snow (1905–1980) [1]. It is also a great challenge to be so called upon to speak for an entire “culture.” Of necessity, my comments were created from...
متن کاملRelativizing Relativity
In what follows, we shall study two signal types with two different signal velocities generating two different sets of Lorentz frames associated with two types of ``light'' cones. (A generalization to an arbitrary number of signals is straightforward.) This may seem implausible and even misleading at first, since from two different ``maximal'' signal velocities only one can be truly maximal. On...
متن کاملRelativizing Concept Descriptions to Comparison Classes
Context-sensitivity has been for long a subject of study in linguistics, logic and computer science. Recently the problem of representing and reasoning with contextual knowledge has been brought up in the research on the Semantic Web. In this paper we introduce a conservative extension to the Description Logic ALC which supports representation of ontologies containing relative terms, such as ‘b...
متن کاملRelativizing Chaitin’s Halting Probability
As a natural example of a 1-random real, Chaitin proposed the halting probability Ω of a universal prefix-free machine. We can relativize this example by considering a universal prefix-free oracle machine U . Let ΩU be the halting probability of U A; this gives a natural uniform way of producing an A-random real for every A ∈ 2ω . It is this operator which is our primary object of study. We can...
متن کاملRelativizing Function Classes
The operators min·, max·, and #· translate classes of the polynomial-time hierarchy to function classes. Although the inclusion relationships between these function classes have been studied in depth, some questions concerning separations remained open. We provide oracle constructions that answer most of these open questions in the relativized case. As a typical instance for the type of results...
