THE FINITE AUTOMATA OF EVENTUALLY PERIODIC UNIMODAL MAPS ON THE INTERVAL

For unimodal maps on the interval we prove that, if the kneading sequences (KS) are eventually periodic, then their formal languages are regular ones. The finite automata for such languages are constructed. Comparing with the languages generated by periodic KS, it is shown that the languages here are not finite complement languages.     

Local reduction in physics

A conventional wisdom about the progress of physics holds that successive theories wholly encompass the domains of their predecessors through a process that is often called “reduction.” While certain influential accounts of inter-theory reduction in physics take reduction to require a single “global” derivation of one theory׳s laws from those of another, I show that global reductions are not available in all cases where the conventional wisdom requires reduction to hold. However, I argue that a weaker “local” form of reduction, which defines reduction between theories in terms of a more fundamental notion of reduction between models of a single fixed system, is available in such cases and moreover suffices to uphold the conventional wisdom. To illustrate the sort of fixed-system, inter-model reduction that grounds inter-theoretic reduction on this picture, I specialize to a particular class of cases in which both models are dynamical systems. I show that reduction in these cases is underwritten by a mathematical relationship that follows a certain liberalized construal of Nagel/Schaffner reduction, and support this claim with several examples. Moreover, I show that this broadly Nagelian analysis of inter-model reduction encompasses several cases that are sometimes cited as instances of the “physicist׳s” limit-based notion of reduction.     

认知和心智的边界——当代认知系统研究概观

传统认知主义不自觉地以为发生在头脑中的认知过程对整个认知任务的认知实现是充分的。然而,随着认知任务的难度和复杂性的增加,人们开始意识到认知任务的实现须依赖更广泛的系统条件;这使得系统性成为20世纪50年代以来认知研究的一个基本维度,并因此引发了关于心智和认知的本性及其边界的广泛的争论。     

The ergodic hierarchy, randomness and Hamiltonian chaos

Various processes are often classified as both deterministic and random or chaotic. The main difficulty in analysing the randomness of such processes is the apparent tension between the notions of randomness and determinism: what type of randomness could exist in a deterministic process? Ergodic theory seems to offer a particularly promising theoretical tool for tackling this problem by positing a hierarchy, the so-called ‘ergodic hierarchy’ (EH), which is commonly assumed to provide a hierarchy of increasing degrees of randomness. However, that notion of randomness requires clarification. The mathematical definition of EH does not make explicit appeal to randomness; nor does the usual way of presenting EH involve a specification of the notion of randomness that is supposed to underlie the hierarchy. In this paper we argue that EH is best understood as a hierarchy of random behaviour if randomness is explicated in terms of unpredictability. We then show that, contrary to common wisdom, EH is useful in characterising the behaviour of Hamiltonian dynamical systems.     

Supertasks, dynamical attractors and indeterminism

Atkinson [2006. Losing energy in classical, relativistic and quantum mechanics. in Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics, 38 To appear.] has obtained some new results on supertasks and the violation of conservation laws. I discuss these results here, extending them from a different perspective, which, by focusing on considerations of indeterminism, facilitates the natural introduction in this context of the concept of dynamical attractor.
