Multiple realization, meet molecular neuroscience
In the philosophy of mind, multiple realization refers to the claim that
one and the same logical kind (property, state, event) is realized in
vastly different physical kinds that share nothing of explanatory
relevance in common. Although puzzles about the realization relation
remain, this claim has acquired consensus status as a true and important
premise in an argument against all forms of psychoneural reduction and
type identity. In this paper, I challenge the truth of multiple
realization based on some recent discoveries in cellular and molecular
neuroscience shared across a variety of species and forms of learning
and memory. From sensitization and aversive conditioning in fruit flies
and sea slugs through hippocampal-mediated memories for context in
mammals, the same "second messenger" intracellular biochemical pathway
and molecular genetic process underlies specifically the "consolidation
switch" from short-term to long-term memory. Furthermore, this single
example illustrates a general principle of evolutionary conservatism at
the cellular/molecular level that we can expect to find at work in the
mechanisms for all psychological processes.
Multiple realization, meet molecular neuroscience. The biochemical and
molecular-genetic details that carry the bulk of the argument here will
be unfamiliar to many philosophers and cognitive scientists. But they
reflect the current state of our scientific knowledge. These details
thus serve a useful secondary purpose: they inform
scientifically-inspired philosophers and cognitive scientists about
recent developments in the cellular and molecular core of current
mainstream neuroscience.

A Physicalist Interpretation of Probability
There is no such property of an event as its "probability." Rather, I
argue that probability is a derivative concept, supervening on physical
quantities characterizing the state of affairs corresponding to the
event in question. The term "probability" can be used only collectively:
it means different dimensionless [0,1]-valued physical quantities
(measures) in the different particular situations. I also argue that
probability is not the limiting value of relative frequency, and not
even necessarily related to the notion of frequency. In some cases, the
conditions of the sequential repetitions of a particular situation are
such, however, that the probability (the corresponding physical
quantity) is approximately equal to the relative frequency of the event
in question. Sometimes we do not know the value of the physical quantity
X, corresponding to the probability of an event A. In this case, if we
are convinced about the relationship between X and the relative
frequency of A, we can measure X by counting the relative frequency of
A. Furthermore, I will argue that probability, as a derivative concept,
has nothing to do with (objective) indeterminism and, on the other hand,
has nothing to do with "lack of knowledge," even if world is
deterministic.

To President G.W. Bush and the Members of the U.S. Congress:
The events of the past few days have made everyone understand how vulnerable
a free and open society is to mass destruction and terror. But this terrible
vulnerability is part of the strength of such a society, not a hallmark of
its weakness. It takes courage to allow the free movement of people and
ideas. That courage is predicated on voluntary acceptance of great risk, and
not upon ignorance of its likelihood.
The immediate response to such a catastrophe is anger and hatred. But the
system of laws that supports the US and its allies has been designed by
generations of great people to ensure that anger and hatred are never given
the final word. Justice, truth, and respect for individual differences are
principles whose power far outweighs the thoughtless desire for revenge.
More importantly, revenge breeds revenge. It seems terribly dangerous to
provide individuals motivated precisely by the desire to increase pain and
suffering the luxury of the war they so much desire. Such a war turns them
from rigid, totalitarian cowards to soldiers; from failures who are willing
to prey upon the innocent to heroic exemplars of the fight against
overwhelming external oppression.
The craven acts of terrorism perpetrated in New York and Washington are
dignified intolerably by their classification as acts of war. The
individuals who perpetrated these appalling events must be regarded and
treated as criminals, as international pariahs, who have committed crimes
against humanity, and who must be brought publicly and rationally to
justice.
Our great technological power makes us increasingly vulnerable to the rigid
madness of the ideologically committed and resentful. To turn against such
madness with indiscriminate revenge seeking is merely to react in the same
primitive and deadly manner. To risk the slaughter of innocent people in the
hunt for such revenge is to absolutely ensure that constant episodes of
international terror will come to be the hallmark of 21st century existence.
The entire world stands behind the US, in the hope that the commission of
crimes against civilization can be exterminated. Such solidarity was
absolutely unthinkable even fifteen years ago. The US therefore has an
unparalleled opportunity to demonstrate its unshakeable commitment to its
own principles, particularly under such conditions of extreme duress, and to
provide the world with the hope that democracy and freedom can truly rise
above the parochial ideological madness of the past. Such a demonstration
would truly lift the American state above all past national institutions,
and would continue the tradition of great spirit that allowed for the
rehabilitation of Germany and Japan after the Second World War.
Perhaps the events of September 11 might therefore be regarded as the last
war of the second Christian millennium, instead of the first war of the
third. In consequence, we implore you to react with discrimination, to
target only those truly responsible, and to avoid the cruel and thoughtless
errors characterizing humanity's blind and ethnocentric past.
Please punish only the guilty, and not the innocent. Otherwise the cycle of
terror that seems an ineradicable part of human existence will never come to
an end.

Chaotic itinerancy as a new universal behavior in complex systems
In low-dimensional dynamical systems, the dynamical behavior is
classified into four
categories: a steady state, a periodic state, a quasi-periodic state,
and a chaotic state.
Each class of behavior is represented by a fixed point attractor, a
limit cycle, a torus, and a
strange attractor, respectively. However, the complex behavior in
high-dimensional
dynamical systems is not always described by these attractors. The more
ordered but more
complex than these types of behavior often appears. We have found one
such universal
behavior in nonequilibrium neural networks, globally coupled chaotic
systems, and optical
delayed systems. We called it a chaotic itinerancy. I would like to give
a talk on the recent
development of the research on chaotic itinerancy.

Maganhangzok es matematika (Vowel sounds and mathematics)
Eloadasomban a XVIII. szazad, pontosabban a francia felvilagosodas ket
filozofiai
vegpontjat szeretnem bemutatni, mely a maga modjan ad absurdum vitele -
ha ugy tetszik
logikailag legkonzekvensebb kifejtese - a maga elofelteveseinek. Az elso
a tudomanyos
gondolkodast - sot a racionalis reflexiot altalaban - az erkolcsok
megrontojakent kezelo
moralista felfogasa, Jean-Jacques Rousseau-e, aki a modernitas
kritikajat a
konyvnyomtatas, az irasbeliseg elveteseig, sot a zenei-maganhangzok
dominalta nyelvet
felvalto "elidegenedett" massalhangzok altal uralt nyelv
kulturkritikajaig fokozta. Elmeleti
ellenpolusa a matematikus-filozofus Condorcet, aki a Leibniz
kezdemenyezte
matematikai-logikai szimbolumrendszert nemcsak a termeszettudosok
nemzetekfolotti
kommunikacios eszkozenek tekintette, hanem a nemzeti elfogultsagokat, a
vallasi
eloiteleteket, az altudomanyos tevedeseket automatikusan kikuszobolo, s
ezzel az emberi
jogok egyetemesseget, a gondolat szabadsagat s az emberek eszbeli es
jogi egyenloseget
garantalo racionalista csodafegyvernek (avagy a racianalitas
vilagtortenelmi
hatalomatvetele garanciajanak). A fentemlitett vilagtortenelem fintora,
hogy Condorcet
kombinatorikajat a Rousseau megalmodta idealok - etnocentrikus allam,
idegengyuloletet
szentesito nemzeti vallas, teljhatalmu torvenyhozo - realizalasa
erdekeben mozgositotta,
azaz a matematizalt racionalitast az irracionalitas segedcsapatava
alazta.
