Three Aspects of Typicality in Multiverse Cosmologying the validity of these theories. One way to extract such predictions is from theory-generated probability distributions that allow for selection effects—generally expressed in terms of assumptions about anthropic conditionalization and how typical we are. In this paper, I urge three lessons about

Symmetries and the Identity of Physical Statesated state variables designate distinct physical states if and only if the symmetry that relates them has direct empirical significance. Strengthening an earlier result, I show that, given this combined account, the local gauge symmetries in our leading contemporary theories of particle physics do n

Mechanisms and Reduction in Organic Chemistry. In this paper I argue that current philosophical accounts of mechanism are too abstract, missing what’s important about mechanisms in chemistry.
