Counting Steps: A New Approach to Objective Probability in Physics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new interpretation of objective deterministic chances in statistical physics based on physical computational complexity. This notion applies to a single physical system (be it an experimental set– up in the lab, or a subsystem of the universe), and quantifies (1) the difficulty to realize a physical state given another, (2) the ‘distance’ (in terms of physical resources) of a physical state from another, and (3) the size of the set of time–complexity functions that are compatible with the physical resources required to reach a physical state from another.

متن کاملA NEW APPROACH IN FAILURE MODES AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS BASED ON COMPROMISE SOLUTION BY CONSIDERING OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE WEIGHTS WITH INTERVAL-VALUED INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY SETS
Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a well-known risk analysis approach that has been conducted to distinguish, analyze and mitigate serious failure modes. It demonstrates the effectiveness and the ability of understanding and documenting in a clear manner; however, the FMEA has weak points and it has been criticized by some authors. For example, it does not consider relative importanc...
متن کاملIterative Approach for Automatic Beam Angle Selection in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy Planning
Introduction: Beam-angle optimization (BAO) is a computationally intensive problem for a number of reasons. First, the search space of the solutions is huge, requiring enumeration of all possible beam orientation combinations. For example, when choosing 4 angles out of 36 candidate beam angles, C36 = 58905 possible combinations exist. Second, any change in a beam 4 config...
متن کاملA New Stability Approach using Probabilistic Profile along Direction of Excavation
Estimation of the possible instability that may be encountered in the excavation slope(s) during the planning and application steps of the rock excavation processes is an important issue in geoengineering. In this paper, a modelling method is presented for assessing the probability of wedge failure involving new permanent or temporary slope(s) along the planned excavation dir...
