Abstract I introduce the implantation argument, a new argument for existence of God. Spatiotemporal extensions believed to exist outside mind, composing an external physical reality, cannot be composed either atomlessness (infinite divisibility, atomless gunk), or Democritean atoms (extended simples), and therefore inner experience reality containing spatiotemporal mind does not represent (inne...

items “unreal” leaves out something important. I have suggested that God is, at bottom, one of these abstract objects. You can be a skeptic about the traditional picture of God as a quasi-material, ghostly being, and still believe the idea of God I presented in this book. 3.

End users have often new requirements to see data and relations which can not be shown by the existing analysis software. They need possibilities to create new user interfaces to fit their requirements. Generally, users don’t have programming knowl...

We conducted a one-day design workshop in which residents of a community collaborated in learning about and designing community-related visual simulations (to be implemented in Stagecast Creator). An analysis of their design ideas and concerns revealed several visual design patterns that were apparent even in these very early stages of simulation design. This analysis helps us to characterize t...

Abstract In this paper, we describe how agency frictions in asset management can generate prime violations of the Efficient Markets Hypothesis, such as momentum, value and an inverted risk-return relationship. Momentum our theory is associated with procyclical fund flows price over-reaction, more pronounced for overvalued assets. The investors who momentum are losing from it those requiring the...
