We review the development of renormalizable SO(10) Susy GUTs based on the 210 ⊕⊕126 ⊕ 126 ⊕ 10 Higgs system. These GUTs are minimal by parameter counting. Using the SO(10) → SU(4) × SU(2)L × SU(2)R label decomposition developed by us we calculated the complete GUT scale spectra and couplings and the threshold effects therefrom. The corrections to αG, Sin θW and MX are sensitive functions of the...
In his acknowledgments (p. xii), the author, a professor of linguistics at Brigham Young University, attributes his conceptualization of linguistics to Joan Bybee (1989), Bruce Derwing (Derwing and Skousen, 1989), and Skousen (1989, 1992, 1995), and these influences are certainly evident in this volume. Eddington (henceforth E.) has amassed an impressive personal bibliography in the area of pho...
The paper demonstrates that falsifiability is fundamental to learning. We prove the following theorem for statistical learning and sequential prediction: If a theory is falsifiable then it is learnable – i.e. admits a strategy that predicts optimally. An analogous result is shown for universal induction. A theory that explains everything, [predicts] nothing. – attributed to Karl Popper. To what...
What distinguishes science from pseudoscience? Is the demarcation linked to the application of the laws of probability? Is it possible to derive any valid law of nature from a finite number of facts? Answers to such questions, and, thus, a construction of a line of demarcation between science and pseudoscience are problems of vital social and political importance. This issue is especially relev...
Hypothesis testing is a crucial component of science. This leads to guidelines (often ignored) in most discipline including psychology. Unfortunately, most focus on significant effects. Nonsignificant effects are sidelined, in spite of their importance to scientific progress. This study reports a survey of practicing scientist on how they would report and interpret explicit scenarios with non-s...
The question of how one should choose among competing explanations (models) of observed data is at the core of science. Model comparison is ubiquitous and arises, for example, when a toxicologist must decide between two dose-response models or when a biochemist needs to determine which of a set of enzyme-kinetics models best accounts for observed data. Over the decades, a number of criteria tha...
Preface For many years I have recommended the short reference on statistics [2] and similar introductory texts to my students and researchers. Barlow's book can be considered a fair reflection of the main stream view of the topic [14]. Yet despite this, I generally gave the caveat that I disagreed with some parts of the book and indeed the conventional view. On a recent reading of the book I co...
(1) Overview Title An open reproducible framework for the study of the iterated prisoner's dilemma. Abstract The Axelrod library is an open source Python package that allows for reproducible game theoretic research into the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma. This area of research began in the 1980s but suffers from a lack of documentation and test code. The goal of the library is to provide such a re...
and other-omics generate unprecedented amounts of experimental data about cells or tissues under certain conditions. However, from an epistemological point of view, merely fitting data into a model to explain observations is not sufficient; science should strive to describe simple and logical theoretical systems that are testable and that enable predictions (Popper, 1959). This paper tries to a...
The emulation interpretation of quantum theory is described which may solve problems of the Copenhagen interpretation finally. According to Kolmogorov complexity theory it is conceivable that a bit string exists encoding our world which can be computed by an appropriate generalized Turing machine. In this case the computation would emulate the world, therefore this can be called an emulation th...
