To explain conceptual gap between classical/quantum and other, hypothetical descriptions of world, several principles has been proposed. So far, all these principles have not involved uncertainty concept. Here we introduce an information content principle (ICP) which represents the new-constrained uncertainty principle. The principle, by taking into account the encoding/decoding properties of p...

The article evaluates the feasibility of extending agile principles to larger, dynamic, and possibly distributed software development projects by uncovering the theoretical basis for agile values and principles for achieving agility. The extant literature focuses mainly on one theory – complex adaptive systems – to support agile methods, although recent research indicates that the control theor...

Researchers interested in human cognitive processes have long used computer simulations to try to identify the principles of cognition. The strategy has been to build computational models that embody a set of principles and then the examine how well the models capture human performance in cognitive tasks. Computational modeling has both strengths and weaknesses in its usefulness in facilitating...

Heisenberg, in constructing quantum mechanics, explicitly followed certain principles exemplified, as he believed, in Einstein's construction of the special theory of relativity which for him was the paradigm for radical theoretic change in physics. These were the principles of (i) scientific realism, (ii) stability of background knowledge, (iii) E-observability, (iv) contextual re-interpretati...

1. A PUZZLE IN ETHICS Philosophers engaged in normative ethics seek a principle stating interesting necessary and sufficient conditions for the moral rightness of actions. Utilitarians, Kantians, Rossians, virtue ethicists, and others defend different principles. But no matter which of these views a philosopher wants to defend, there is a certain difficulty that must be confronted. The problem ...

Although the role of theories in design research is recognized, we show that little attention has been paid on how to use theories when designing new artifacts. We introduce design principles as a new methodological approach to address this problem. Design principles extend the notion of design rationales that document how a design decision emerged. We extend the concept of design rationales by...

We introduce strong Goodstein principles which are true but unprovable in strong impredicative theories like IDn.
