The Place Where Theory and Practice Can Meet

Universal Grammar and Chaos/Complexity Theory: Where Do They Meet And Where Do They Cross?

  Abstract The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition. Then, the theory of "Universal Grammar" (UG) is explicated with an eye to C/CT. Firstly, it is revealed that CCT may or may not be allied with a theory of language acquisition that takes UG as the initial state of language acquisition for ...

Quantum Theory, namely the theory where Information and Physics meet

After more than a century since its birth, Quantum Theory still eludes our under1 standing. If asked to describe it, we have to resort to abstract and ad hoc principles about 2 complex Hilbert spaces. How is it possible that a fundamental physical theory cannot be de3 scribed using the ordinary language of Physics? Here we offer a contribution to the problem, 4 providing a short non-technical p...

However, music mood is far from being well studied in information science. For example, there is no consensus on whether to use mood or emotion to refer the affective aspect of music. Also, the lack of consensus on music mood ...
