Abstract

This paper proposes and examines an answer to the special composition question—complex objects compress information about their parts. I start by defending fastenation for material objects and then extract from fastenation the idea that the conjoinment of parts establishes correlations among the locations and motions of those parts. I move from this to the proposal that entities are parts of some object when that object allows for the efficient, if lossy, compression of information about those parts.

受限组合是信息压缩

本文提出并研究了一个特殊组成问题的答案——复杂对象压缩其部分的信息。我首先为实物的禁食辩护，然后从禁食中提取出这样一种观点，即部分的结合建立了这些部分的位置和运动之间的相关性。我从这一点转到这样一个建议，即当某个对象允许对有关这些部分的信息进行有效（如果有损耗的话）压缩时，实体就是该对象的一部分。

期刊介绍： The Philosophical Quarterly is one of the most highly regarded and established academic journals in philosophy. In an age of increasing specialism, it remains committed to publishing high-quality articles from leading international scholars across the range of philosophical study. Accessibility of its content for all philosophers - including students - is an editorial priority. The Philosophical Quarterly regularly publishes articles, discussions and reviews, and runs an annual Essay Prize. Its distinguished international contributors engage with both the established and the new, for example, through reflection on cognitive psychology, decision theory, quantum mechanics.
