A Desire for Parsimony
نویسنده
چکیده
An understanding of wildness is being developed as a quality of interactive processing that increases survival opportunities in nature. A link is made between the need to improve interactive quality for wildness, and cognitive desires and interests in art, music, religion and philosophy as these can also be seen as attempts to improve interactive quality internally and externally. Interactive quality can be improved through gains in parsimony, that is, simplifications in the organisation of skills. The importance of parsimony in evolution is discussed, along with indicators of an internal parsimony desire that experiences joy if achieved through processes such as insight and understanding. A mechanism for the production and measurement of the parsimony desire is proposed, based on the number of subcortical pleasure hotspots that can be stimulated at once within the 'archipelago' available in the limbic system.

Autoregressive Lag—Order Selection Using Conditional Saddlepoint Approximations
A new method for determining the lag order of the autoregressive polynomial in regression models with autocorrelated normal disturbances is proposed. It is based on a sequential testing procedure using conditional saddlepoint approximations and permits the desire for parsimony to be explicitly incorporated, unlike penalty-based model selection methods. Extensive simulation results indicate that...
متن کاملQuantitative Parsimony and Explanatory Power
The desire to minimize the number of individual new entities postulated is often referred to as quantitative parsimony. Its influence on the default hypotheses formulated by scientists seems undeniable. I argue that there is a wide class of cases for which the preference for quantitatively parsimonious hypotheses is demonstrably rational. The justification, in a nutshell, is that such hypothese...
متن کاملMulti-gabor Dictionaries for Audio Time-frequency Analysis
In this paper we consider the construction of multiresolution Gabor dictionaries appropriate for audio signal analysis. Motivated by a desire for parsimony and efficiency, we propose and formalise the idea of reduced multi-Gabor systems, showing that they constitute a frame for L2(R) and other Hilbert spaces of interest. In order to demonstrate the practicality of such a scheme, we apply it to ...
