We study the joint action of the non-Poisson renewal events (NPR) yielding Continuous-time random walk (CTRW) with index α<1 and two different generators of Hurst coefficient H≠0.5, one generating fractional Brownian motion (FBM) and another scaled Brownian motion (SBM). We discuss the ergodicity breaking emerging from these joint actions and we find that in both cases the adoption of time aver...

Contrart-to-duty imperatives are those which tell us what we ought to do if we violate some of our obligations. In this work, we give an inconsistencyfriendly framework for contrary-to-duty imperatives and introduce three semantics for it: static, dynamic and topological. The static semantics uses the standard modal paraconsistent approach whereas the dynamic semantics views violations as dynam...

In this paper the problems in deontic logic around contrary to duty obligations are used to conduct a study in basic normative ontology. Three causes of the problems around contrary to duty obligations are identified, that is 1) the attempt to analyze obligations in terms of what is ideally the case, 2) the application of deontic inheritance to the presuppositions of obligations, and 3) the fai...

The statistical perspective on boosting algorithms focuses on optimization, drawing parallels with maximum likelihood estimation for logistic regression. In this paper we present empirical evidence that raises questions about this view. Although the statistical perspective provides a theoretical framework within which it is possible to derive theorems and create new algorithms in general contex...

Abstract Determinism is generally regarded as one of the main characteristics classical physics, that is, physics eighteenth and nineteenth century. However, an inquiry into century shows aim accounting for all phenomena on basis deterministic equations motion remained far out reach. Famous statements universal determinism, such those Laplace Du Bois-Reymond, were made within a specific context...

Reactive systems often require temporal and logical safety , concurrency and determinism. Several asynchronous or strong synchronous answers have been proposed to this problem. However, \asyn-chronous" languages such as CSP or CCS generally force the user to choose between determinism and concurrency. On the other hand, strong synchronous implementations are mainly sequential. The aim of this p...

We discuss some of the choices that arise when one tries to make the idea of physical determinism more precise. Broadly speaking, ‘ontological’ notions of determinism are parameterized by one’s choice of mathematical ideology, whilst ‘epistemological’ notions of determinism are parameterized by the choice of an appropriate notion of computability. We present some simple examples to show that th...

This paper discusses the relation between deontic logic and the study of conversational interactions. Special attention is given to the notion of remedial interchange as analysed by sociologists and linguistic pragmaticians. This notion is close to the one of contrary-to-duty (reparational) obligation, which deontic logicians have been studying in its own right. The present article also investi...

Exo-planet migration is assumed to have occurred to explain close-to-star gas giant exoplanets within the context of the so-called standard model of solar system formation, rather than giving cause to question the validity of that particular model. I present evidence against the concept of planet migration, evidence that is historical, interdisciplinary, and model-independent. First, I demonstr...

Contrary to duties (CTD) are dealt with in the framework of standard deontic logic (SDL), and ordinary Kripke possible world models. Given a world t, one associates statically a non-empty set I(t) of ideal worlds for t and t Oq (q is obligatory for t) if q holds in all the worlds of I(t). This is a static perception of obligation. If we have to list as t the set of all obligations for the world...
