{"title":"What Economic Growth and Statistical Semantics Tell Us About the Structure of the World","authors":"W. Benzon","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3680119","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3680119","url":null,"abstract":"The metaphysical structure of the world, as opposed to its physical structure, resides in the relationship between our cognitive capacities and the world itself. Because the world itself is “lumpy”, rather than “smooth” (as developed herein, but akin to “simple” vs. complex”), it is learnable and hence livable. Machine learning AI engines, such as GPT-3, are able to approximate the semantic structure of language, to the extent that that structure can be modeled in a high-dimensional space. That structure ultimately depends on the fact that the world is lumpy. It is the lumpiness that is captured in the statistics. Similarly, I argue, the American economy has entered a period of stagnation because the world is lumpy. In such a world good “ideas” become more and more difficult to find. Stagnation then reflects the increasing costs the learning required to develop economically useful ideas.","PeriodicalId":224850,"journal":{"name":"PRN: Ontology (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125495821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Cyclic Mechanics: the Principle of Cyclicity","authors":"Vasil Penchev","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3648139","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3648139","url":null,"abstract":"Cyclic mechanic is intended as a suitable generalization both of quantum mechanics and general relativity apt to unify them. It is founded on a few principles, which can be enumerated approximately as follows:1. Actual infinity or the universe can be considered as a physical and experimentally verifiable entity. It allows of mechanical motion to exist.2. A new law of conservation has to be involved to generalize and comprise the separate laws of conservation of classical and relativistic mechanics, and especially that of conservation of energy: This is the conservation of action or information.3. Time is not a uniformly flowing time in general. It can have some speed, acceleration, more than one dimension, to be discrete.4. The following principle of cyclicity: The universe returns in any point of it. The return can be only kinematic, i.e. per a unit of energy (or mass), and thermodynamic, i.e. considering the universe as a thermodynamic whole.5. The kinematic return, which is per a unit of energy (or mass), is the counterpart of conservation of energy, which can be interpreted as the particular case of conservation of action “per a unit of time”. The kinematic return per a unit of energy (or mass) can be interpreted in turn as another particular law of conservation in the framework of conservation of action (or information), namely conservation of wave period (or time). These two counterpart laws of conservation correspond exactly to the particle “half” and to the wave “half” of wave-particle duality.6. The principle of quantum invariance is introduced. It means that all physical laws have to be invariant to discrete and continuous (smooth) morphisms (motions) or mathematically, to the axiom of choice.The list is not intended to be exhausted or disjunctive, but only to give an introductory idea.","PeriodicalId":224850,"journal":{"name":"PRN: Ontology (Topic)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114290520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mobile money is built on speed (real-time clearing) and liquidity (thousands of merchants where you can cash in and out). It’s ready-cash (an immediately accessible mobile wallet), cash-to-go (P2P money transfers, billpay). But mobile money is a flexible tool that can be expanded from PayNow to PayPlan – helping people ear-mark funds for and build up to the things they want to secure for tomorrow. PayPlan allows people to set and contribute to spending goals. They can send money over time to others (delayed P2P transfers), or simply to themselves (Me2Me). With Me2Me, farmers can use this year’s crop bounty to reserve money for inputs for the next season, and pay themselves a salary until the next crop comes in. Day laborers can build up to the amount they need for school fees, or to build a cushion for other things that will improve the quality of their lives. Traders can plan new supply purchases and loan repayments.","PeriodicalId":224850,"journal":{"name":"PRN: Ontology (Topic)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115016247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We base much of our analysis on Searle (1965, 1995) as well as on his later works (Searle 2005, 2006a, 2006b) which have not yet been taken into consideration in accounting ontological debates, and his claims to defend a heavily nuanced (read: watered down) version of external reality. The analysis is a critical one, as we fear that both the attempts to explain the ontology of accounting information by means of different philosophical theories, as well as the very theories chosen for such purposes are subject to inconsistencies which need to be made explicit in the account.","PeriodicalId":224850,"journal":{"name":"PRN: Ontology (Topic)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126373319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
