The philosophy of science today seems stuck between falsifiability (Popper) and meaning (Kuhn). Time to devote more the social sciences, e.g. value loaded terms, stipulations, rationality explanations.

Let G be graph and let S be a set of lists of colon; at the vertices G is said to be S list-colorable if there exists a proper' /'rllnr"'Hl of G sllch that each vertexi takes its color . Alan and Tarsi! I] have shown that G is S list-colorable if and only if its graph polynomial fC(;1;..):= IT(Xi Xj) i~J does not lie in the ideal I generated by the annihilator polynomials colors available at th...

A fundamental fact of human existence is that we have no access to nature or to another mind, or even to our own mind, except through signs. Our cognition of the external world is always mediated by perceptual and conceptual signs, just as our social relations are always mediated by linguistic and gestural signs. As Deely says (1988: 31): There is nothing in thought or in sensation which was no...

hearings, according to the general principles, appear in open courts. therefore, confidential and private hearings are exeptional by legal stipulation. this exeption is depicted and stipulated in arbitration. the charactristics of arbitration are being confidential and private. these two are main points for reterring to arbitration. in jurisprudence, the consensus is only on the private aspect ...

In their recent article, Harris and Graff describe ways that local governments can restrict the marketing of unhealthful food to children, including limiting store displays and banning commercial billboards (1). The authors state that " to avoid potential First Amendment violations, the [policies] should apply to all signs no matter the message and should be based on non–speech-related consider...

We consider the two-variable fragment of first-order logic with counting, subject to the stipulation that a single distinguished binary predicate be interpreted as an equivalence. We show that the satisfiability and finite satisfiability problems for this logic are both NEXPTIME-complete. We further show that the corresponding problems for two-variable first-order logic with counting and two eq...

Traditional approaches to quantiier scope typically need stipulation to exclude readings that are unavailable to human under-standers. This paper shows that quantiier scope phenomena can be precisely characterized by a semantic representation constrained by surface constituency, if the distinction between referential and quantii-cational NPs is properly observed. A CCG implementation is describ...
