Is the Mentaculus the Best System of Our World?, Albert and Loewer’s Mentaculus is an expanded version of statistical mechanics. On their view – as recently updated by Loewer’s “.” – The Mentaculus is the “best system” of our world in the Lewis-style sense of this term: it contains a partial description of the fundamental reality (“The Humean bas土产 发表于 2025-3-27 03:33:23

Laws of Nature as Epistemic Infrastructure Not Metaphysical Superstructure, science and metaphysics while seeking their objective ground in the natural world, though some skeptics (Giere, van Fraassen, Cartwright) have questioned this assumption. So-called Humeans look to base laws on actual, particular facts such as those specified in David Lewis’s Humean mosaic. Their op休战 发表于 2025-3-27 12:30:04

,On Two Slights to Noether’s First Theorem: Mental Causation and General Relativity,ation laws and symmetries are tied together by Noether’s first theorem (that rigid symmetries yield conservation). However, beneath the surface of such consensus lie two slights to Noether’s first theorem..First, there is a 325+ -year controversy about mind-body interaction in relation to the conser令人苦恼 发表于 2025-3-28 03:54:07

Lawlessness, vision of “law without law.” I leave Wheeler’s question about the origin of laws in general unanswered, but examine three more limited kinds of lawlessness. The first is Feynman’s derivation of the principle of least action from an underlying quantum level which, on his account, is (nearly) lawless围裙 发表于 2025-3-28 12:53:02
