The cognitive structure of surprise: looking for basic principles

We develop a conceptual and formal clarification of the notion of surprise as a belief-based phenomenon by exploring a rich typology. Each kind of surprise is associated with a particular phase of the cognitive processing and involves particular kinds of epistemic representations (representations and expectations under scrutiny, implicit beliefs, presuppositions). We define two main kinds of su...

The Structure of Tail-Biting Trellises: Minimality and Basic Principles

Social Structure and Opinion Formation

We present a dynamical theory of opinion formation that takes explicitly into account the structure of the social network in which individuals are embedded. The theory predicts the evolution of a set of opinions through the social network and establishes the existence of a martingale property, i.e. the expected weighted fraction of the population that holds a given opinion is constant in time. ...

Basic principles underlying coagulation

This chapter will discuss coagulation in the context of a hemostatic response to a break in the vasculature. Coagulation is the process that leads to fibrin formation; this process involves controlled interactions between protein coagulation factors. Hemostasis is coagulation that occurs in a physiological (as opposed to pathological) setting and results in sealing a break in the vasculature. T...
