Quantum theory has provoked intense discussions about its interpretation since its pioneer days, beginning with Bohr’s view of quantum theory as a theory of knowledge. We show that such an epistemic perspective can be consistently complemented by Einstein’s ontically oriented position.

The endeavor for technological innovation is a persistent parameter throughout human history. Because of their resonance, antiquated paradigms may facilitate our search for new ones. In this essay I suggest that the ancient Museum of Alexandria, with its emphasis on the ongoing dialogue among the Muses, can serve as inspiration to the virtual museums that are being established in cyberspace. Co...

Sr. Editor: El aumento en los estándares de investigación de las instituciones médicas en eventos científicos ha generado una conducta de publicación más competitiva entre profesionales médicos, en especial en los médicos jóvenes, en algunos países desarrollados como es el caso de China. Este comportamiento presenta puntos de vista diferentes en su apreciación. Se menciona que en China se da un...

The present paper outlines the nature of a three-dimensional ontology and the place of psychological science within this ontology, in a way that is partly similar to and partly different from that of Pérez-Álvarez. The first dimension is the material realities, and involves different levels (physical, chemical, biological, psychological, etc.), where each level builds on a lower level but also ...

Two experiments tested the ability to distinguish between ordinary and fantastic complex visual displays in 6and 9-year-old children and adults. In Experiment 1, adults found discrimination between ordinary and fantastic visual realities (Task 1) as clear and manageable as the discrimination between pictures that included or did not include human characters (Task 2), but 6and 9-year-old childre...

I review some results of estimation of the power spectrum of density fluctuations from galaxy redshift surveys and discuss advances that may be possible with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. I then examine the realities of power spectrum estimation in the presence of Galactic extinction, photometric errors, galaxy evolution, clustering evolution, and uncertainty about the background cosmology.

This paper examines the relationship between episodic framing and the construction and maintenance of social realities in English-language reporting about Indonesian politics during the nation’s transition to democracy in 1998 and 1999. It evaluates framing in terms of context and frequency across 478 Australian, American and British newspaper reports primarily about PDI-P (Indonesian Democrati...

An anhomomorphic logic A∗ is the set of all possible realities for a quantum system. Our main goal is to find the “actual reality” φa ∈ A∗ for the system. Reality filters are employed to eliminate unwanted potential realities until only φa remains. In this paper, we consider three reality filters that are constructed by means of quantum integrals. A quantum measure μ can generate or actualize a...
