Time and Determinism
This paper gives an overview of logico-philosophical issues of time and determinism. After a brief review of historical roots and 20th century developments, three current research areas are discussed: the definition of determinism, space-time indeterminism, and the temporality of individual things and their possibilities.
متن کاملDeterminism in Financial Time Series
The attractive possibility that financial indices may be chaotic has been the subject of much study. In this paper we address two specific questions: “Masked by stochasticity, do financial data exhibit deterministic nonlinearity?”, and “If so, so what?”. We examine daily returns from three financial indicators: the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the London gold fixings, and the USD-JPY exchange ...
متن کاملCompact Time and Determinism for Bosons
Free bosonic fields are investigated at a classical level by imposing their characteristic time periodicity as a constraint, in analogy with finite temperature field theory and with extra-dimensional field theories. Following the de Broglie hypothesis, this compactification naturally leads to a quantized energy spectrum with gaps given by the related fundamental frequency times the Planck const...
متن کاملFreedom, Weakness, and Determinism: From Linear-Time to Branching-Time
Model checking is a method for the veri cation of systems with respect to their speci cations. Symbolic model-checking, which enables the veri cation of large systems, proceeds by calculating xed-point expressions over the system's set of states. The -calculus is a branching-time temporal logic with xed-point operators. As such, it is a convenient logic for symbolic modelchecking tools. In part...
متن کاملDeterminism, Causation, Prediction, and the Affine Time Group
This contribution addresses major distinctions between the notions of determinism, causation, and prediction, as they are typically used in the sciences. Formally, this can be elegantly achieved by two ingredients: (i) the distinction of ontic and epistemic states of a system, and (ii) temporal symmetry breakings based on the mathematical concept of the affine time group. Key aspects of the the...
