This article aims to show that fundamentality is construed differently in the two most prominent strategies of analysis we find in physical science and engineering today: (1) atomistic, reductive analysis and (2) Systems analysis. Correspondingly, atomism is the conception according to which the simplest (smallest) indivisible entity of a certain kind is most fundamental; while systemism, as wi...

For a given integer d, 1 ≤ d ≤ n − 1, let Ω be a subset of the set of all d × n real matrices. Define the subspace M(Ω) = span{g(Ax) : A ∈ Ω, g ∈ C(IR, IR)} . We give necessary and sufficient conditions on Ω so that M(Ω) is dense in C(IR, IR) in the topology of uniform convergence on compact subsets. This generalizes work of Vostrecov and Kreines. We also consider some related problems. §

Abstract Is everything about reality either qualitative or somehow determined by the character of itself? Metaphysical anti-Haecceitism is often taken to be claim that this case, and entail fundamentally qualitative. In paper, I (1) argue against idea metaphysical should characterized in such terms, (2) defend a novel way phrase view. This will done taking main arguments for as guide singling o...
