I respond to the Bernard et al. comment on my letter “Chiral anomalies and rooted staggered fermions.” In their comment on my letter “Chiral anomalies and rooted staggered fermions,” [1] Bernard, Golterman, Shamir, and Sharpe [2] do not address the main point that the chiral symmetry group for the rooted theory has a higher rank than the target theory. This immediately calls into question wheth...
متن کاملTime Travel and the Reality of Spontaneity∗
Contrary to the informed consensus, time travel implies spontaneity (as distinct from chance) so that time travel can only be of the second kind. ∗A preliminary version of this paper was presented at a Seminar on ‘Reality in Physics and Philosophy,’ S. N. Bose National Centre for the Basic Sciences, Calcutta, 24-25 Feb 1996. †Present address: Centre for Computer Science, MCRP University, 222 M....

One of the fundamental puzzles language learners must solve is the mapping of a string of words onto a particular (correct) syntactic structure. In this article, I examine the problem of how learners should resolve the ambiguity presented by a string that could have either a raising or a control structure. I provide both logical and empirical arguments against the view that children should be b...
متن کاملReplies to the Critics ∗
Menzel’s commentary is a tightly focused, extended argument and it may be summarized as follows: (a) though Zalta gathers a range of phenomena under a small set of concepts, unfortunately, the framework is a possibilist one; (b) Zalta justifies possibilism by arguing that it provides the simplest and most natural explanation and analysis of such phenomena as ordinary modal discourse; but (c) by...

This article shows that Error-Driven Constraint Demotion (EDCD), an error-driven learning algorithm proposed by Tesar (1995) for Prince and Smolensky’s (1993/2004) version of Optimality Theory, can fail to converge to a correct totally ranked hierarchy of constraints, unlike the earlier non-error-driven learning algorithms proposed by Tesar and Smolensky (1993). The cause of the problem is foun...
