Group to Group Commitments Do Not Shrink
We investigate commitment schemes whose messages, keys, commitments, and decommitments are elements of bilinear groups, and whose openings are verified by pairing product equations. Such commitments facilitate efficient zero-knowledge proofs of knowledge of a correct opening. We show two lower bounds on such schemes: a commitment cannot be shorter than the message and verifying the opening in a...
متن کاملThe Paradox of Toil
This paper proposes a new paradox: the paradox of toil. Suppose everyone wakes up one day and decides they want to work more. What happens to aggregate employment? This paper shows that, under certain conditions, aggregate employment falls; that is, there is less work in the aggregate because everyone wants to work more. The conditions for the paradox to apply are that the short-term nominal in...
متن کاملShrink-Wrapped Isosurface from Cross Sectional Images
This paper addresses a new surface reconstruction scheme for approximating the isosurface from a set of tomographic cross sectional images. Differently from the novel Marching Cubes (MC) algorithm, our method does not extract the iso-density surface (isosurface) directly from the voxel data but calculates the iso-density point (isopoint) first. After building a coarse initial mesh approximating...
متن کاملFrom Robotic Toil to Symbolic Theft: Grounding Transfer from Entry-Level to Higher-Level Categories
Neural network models of categorical perception (compression of within-category similarity and dilation of between-category differences) are applied to the symbol-grounding problem (of how to connect symbols with meanings) by connecting analog sensorimotor projections to arbitrary symbolic representations via learned category-invariance detectors in a hybrid symbolic/nonsymbolic system. Our net...
متن کاملShrink-wrap vesicles.
We describe a simple approach to the controlled removal of molecules from the membrane of large unilamellar vesicles made of fatty acids. Such vesicles shrink dramatically upon mixing with micelles composed of a mixture of fatty acid and a phospholipid (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC)), as fatty acid molecules leave the vesicle membrane and accumulate within the mixed mi...
