Qualified ifications

چکیده
We consider the problem of ramifications, i.e., indirect effects of actions, having exceptions. It is argued that straightforward minimization of abnormality is insufficient in this context. Taking a recent causality-based solution to the plain Ramification Problem as starting point, we develop an action theory that is shown to successfully address this amalgamation of Ramification and Qualification Problem.

Gauged N=4 Supergravities
We present the complete gauged N = 4 (half-maximal) supergravities in four and five spacetime dimensions coupled to an arbitrary number of vector mul-tiplets. The gaugings are parameterized by a set of appropriately constrained constant tensors, which transform covariantly under the global symmetry groups SL(2) × SO(6, n) and SO(1, 1) × SO(5, n), respectively. In terms of these tensors the univ...
متن کاملA Theory of Mapping from Structure to Function Applied to Engineering Thermodynamics
This paper presents a theoretical framework for mapping from structure to function in eng ineering domains. We argue that a generative approach grounded in Qualitative Process Th eory produces useful functional explanations. These explanations are articulate, in that they enable the user to explore their theoretical just ifications and perform counterfactual reasoning. These explanations stem f...
