It has been claimed that a unique feature of human culture is it accumulates beneficial modifications over time. On the basis couple methodological considerations, we here argue that, perhaps surprisingly, there insufficient evidence for proper test this claim. And indicate what further research would be needed to firmly establish cumulativeness culture.

abstract infiltration process is one of the most important components of the hydrological cycle. on the other hand, the direct measurement of infiltration process is laborious, time consuming and expensive. in this study, the possibility of predicting cumulative infiltration in specific time intervals, using readily available soil data and artificial neural networks (anns) was investigated. for...

Abstract Standard Type Theory, ${\textrm {STT}}$ , tells us that $b^n(a^m)$ is well-formed iff $n=m+1$ . However, Linnebo and Rayo [23] have advocated the use of Cumulative $\textrm {CTT}$ which has more relaxed type-restrictions: according to $b^\beta (a^\alpha )$ $\beta>\alpha $ In this paper, we set ourselves against We begin our case by arguing Rayo’s claim sheds new philosophical light ...
