In contemporary philosophy of religion, it is customary to think of God as an individual person, who exists in time, and is related to things in the world not only as their cause but also in various respects as their effect.1 On the whole, this model has displaced the so-called 'classical' account, according to which God is pure being and therefore 'simple'. Two kinds of consideration lie behin...

We discuss some fundamental aspects of information theory and its relationship to physics and neuroscience. The aim is to identify some questions and point out the relevance of the concept of Kolmogovov complexity in their eventual resolution. The discussion is based on two premises: 1) all human experience is generated in the brain, 2) all the brain has access to is information. Taken together...

A set is called NP-simple if it lies in NP, and its complement is infinite, and does not contain any infinite subsets in NP. Hartmanis, Li and Yesha [HLY86] proved that no set which is hard for NP under many-one (Karp) reductions is NP-simple unless NP ∩ coNP ⊆ SUBEXP. However, we can exhibit a relativized world in which there is an NP-simple set that is complete under Turing (Cook) reductions,...

Added 27 Jul 2014] Many researchers work on systems that learn. Different sorts of things can be learnt, including abilities of many kinds, and applications of those abilities. Learnable abilities include (in no significant order): abilities to label, abilities to describe, abilities to predict, abilities to manipulate directly or to control indirectly, abilities to perform actions of varying c...

The human mind is known to be sensitive to complexity. For instance, the visual system reconstructs hidden parts of objects following a principle of maximum simplicity. We suggest here that higher cognitive processes, such as the selection of relevant situations, are sensitive to variations of complexity. Situations are relevant to human beings when they appear simpler to describe than to gener...

Abstract—Beyond 3G mobile systems are characterized by the usage of a multitude of different terminals, from high-end devices to miniaturized ubiquitous devices, as well as heterogeneous networks. Complexity for configuration and service provisioning is increased on both terminal and network sides. To ease of the users’ burden, flexible adaptation and personalization support are fundamental req...
