Towards an algebra of existence and development of unique subjects with unique minds: A commentary to Jens Mammen’s book
Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science. 2019. Vol. 53. No. 2. P. 199–206.
In the commentary to Jens Mammen’s book A New Logical Foundation for Psychology (2017), three issues are discussed. The first one concerns possible interrelations of: (a) others’ irreplaceability and existential irretrievability rigorously proved by Mammen; and (b) morality and attitudes to the others. Lem’s criticism of Heidegger’s existential philosophy, which paradoxically ignores mass homicide, is discussed in the context of topology of being. Different attitudes to the other as irreplaceable and irretrievable (e.g., in case of apprehension and execution of a murderer) are analyzed. The second issue concerns the possibility of true duplicates of the same person. The paradox of copied complexity is introduced. The third issue concerns reductionism (including brain reductionism) and opportunities to deduce various phenomena of development (mental development, actual genesis of creative thinking, etc.) from the new logical foundation for psychology built by Mammen.

Large language models have recently demonstrated promising capabilities in mathematical reasoning; however, their performance on tasks requiring strict symbolic manipulation, such as solving differential equations, remains limited, especially for compact models. In this work, we investigate whether activation steering combined with reinforcement learning can improve the quality of solutions generated by pretrained language models without ...

В работе представлен анализ динамики и факторов младенческой смертности в регионах России в 1927-2022 гг., проведенный на данных Демоскоп Weeklyи Российской базы данных по рождаемости и смертности. Несмотря на значимость регионального фактора в младенческой смертности, особенно на ранних этапах наблюдаемого временного отрезка, эффект периода, как правило, оказывался важнее. Так,значительные успехи в снижении младенческой смертности в ...

We investigate the spatial overlap of successive spin configurations in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations using the local Metropolis algorithm and the Swendsen-Wang and Wolff cluster algorithms. We examine the dynamics of these algorithms for models in different universality classes: Ising model, Potts model with three components, and four-state Potts model. The overlap of two ...

Rectangularity can be an a priori constraint for the visual system to recover a 3D shape from a 2D image. Two psychophysical experiments (n = 16 each) were conducted to test whether observers are biased to perceive trihedral corners as rectangular and whether this bias is perceptual rather than a response bias. The results of ...

A noncommutative projective variety is defined, following Artin and Zhang, by a graded coherent algebra 𝐴. The category of coherent sheaves is then the quotient qgr(𝐴) of the category of finitely presented graded modules by the subcategory of torsion modules. We consider the categorical and polynomial entropies of the Serre twist, that is, of the ...

If a symmetric multilinear algebra is weakly nil, then it is Engel. This result may be regarded as an infinite-dimensional analogue of the well-known Jacobian theorem, which states that if a polynomial mapping has a polynomial inverse, then its Jacobian matrix is invertible. This refines a theorem of Gerstenhaber and partially answers a question posed ...
