Flow of Time in BST/BCONT Models and Related Semantical Observations
branching branching spacetime branching continuation temporal logic flow of time non-classical logic
2016/6/15
First the Branching Space-time and Branching Continuations models are briefly presented. We compare their properties with the traditional definition of a~Flow of Time from physics and we point out the...
Benefits of Objective Collapse Models for Cosmology and Quantum Gravity
Objective collapse Dynamical reduction Quantum gravity Cosmology
2016/6/15
We display a number of advantages of objective collapse theories for the resolution of long-standing problems in cosmology and quantum gravity. In particular, we examine applications of objective redu...
Fictional Models in Science

2016/6/14
In this paper, I begin with a discussion of Giere’s recent work arguing against taking models as works of fiction. I then move on to explore a spectrum of scientific models that goes from the obviousl...
Symbols versus Models

2016/6/14
In this paper I argue against a deflationist view that as representational vehicles symbols and models do their jobs in essentially the same way. I argue that symbols are conventional vehicles whose c...
The United Kingdom Climate Impacts Program’s UKCP09 project makes high-resolution forecasts of climate during the 21st century using state of the art global climate models. The aim of this paper is to...
Models,Mechanisms,and Coherence
Mechanistic explanations scientific realism modeling coherence
2016/6/12
Life-science phenomena are often explained by specifying the mechanisms that bring them about. The new mechanistic philosophers have done much to substantiate this claim, and to provide us with a bett...
Models,Sherlock Holmes and the Emperor Claudius
Models idealization representation fiction imagination make-believe
2016/5/31
Recently, a number of authors have suggested that we understand scientific models in the same way as fictional characters, like Sherlock Holmes. The biggest challenge for this approach concerns the on...
Growth of science under the social influence in Arabic-Islamic and Western Civilisations,700-1900(Statistical Models)
History of science Science development Statistical model
2016/5/31
A population of breakthrough scientists is considered to trace the development of science in both old Arabic-Islamic and Western civilisations. A statistical method is used to trace variation in the s...
Climate Models,Calibration and Confirmation
confirmation calibration tuning double-counting climate science Bayesianism
2016/5/31
We argue that concerns about double-counting -- using the same evidence both to calibrate or tune climate models and also to confirm or verify that the models are adequate --deserve more careful scrut...

Minds,models and mechanisms:a new perspective on intentional psychology
intentional psychology mechanistic model phenomenological model prediction explanation
2016/5/30
In this article, I argue that intentional psychology (i.e. the interpretation of human behaviour in terms of intentional states and propositional attitudes) plays an essential role in the sciences of ...
Appraising Non-Representational Models
Models Learning Representation How-Possibly Explanations Heuristics
2016/5/30
Many scientific models are non-representational in that they refer to merely possible processes, background conditions and results. The paper shows how such non-representational models can be appraise...
In science, models are used in many different ways: to test empirical hypotheses, to help in theory formation, to visualize data, and so on. Scientists construct and study the behavior of models, and ...
How do models give us knowledge? The case of Carnot’s ideal heat engine
models modelling representation epistemic artefacts
2009/11/20
Our concern is in explaining how and why models give us useful knowledge. We argue that if we are to understand how models function in the actual scientific practice the representational approach to m...
Econometrics applies statistical methods to study economic phenomena. Roughly, by means of equations, econometricians typically account for the response variable in terms of a number of explanatory va...
