Altruism and Envy in Contests: An Evolutionarily Stable Symbiosis

This is the story of how a conventional middle-class American household?a surgeon, his wife and three normal children?had first to recognise, then to cope with and, finally, to exclude, an abnormal family member. Tony was a beautiful child, the eldest, and apart from long hours of screaming for no apparent reason, he seemed a normal baby. His intellectual and motor development was average, but ...

The notion of complexity in physics comes from considering the perfect crystal and the isolated ideal gas as examples of simple models, and therefore as systems with zero complexity. The asymptotic properties that an indicator of complexity should have are induced from the characteristics of the two former systems. We have proposed in [López-Ruiz et al., 1995; Calbet & López-Ruiz, 2001] a simpl...

This is Part 6 of a tutorial series on Term Vector Theory. The Extended Boolean Model is discussed. By varying the model p-norm parameter, from p = 1 to p = , we can vary its ranking behavior from that of a vector spacelike to that of a strict Boolean-like.

Instead of examining critical realism directly, this essay critically examines claims made by two prominent critical realists, namely Andrew Collier and Tony Lawson, on behalf of their philosophy. These are (a) that critical realism supports Marx’s law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, and (b) that critical realism is illustrated by the workplace organisation theory of the relative...

From a position of complete non-intervention, as in The Courage of his Convictions, when he allows the man in question .to emerge as a person exactly in the terms he himself wants to, he has gradually grown more confident and skilled and now adds ot...

This paper presents the main characteristics of Logic Models Creator (LMC). LMC is a new educational environment for young students to build and explore logic models in graphical form. LMC allows visual representation of logic models using IF/THEN/ELSE constructs. In this paper we provide an overview of LMC architecture and discuss briefly an example of use of LMC. As discussed, LMC users in th...

Some heterodox economists, most notably Tony Lawson, have come under suspicion of not being true pluralists, but ‘strategic pluralists’: their advocacy of pluralism is thought to be merely instrumental to a hidden monist agenda. This paper does not aim to judge the accused but rather to assess the accusations; the focus is on clarifying the notion of pluralism itself. First a paradox is found t...
