Branching for general relativists
general relativity modality branching space-times
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2016/6/15
The paper develops a theory of branching spatiotemporal histories that accommodates indeterminism and the insights of general relativity. A model of this theory can be viewed as a collection of overla...
A generalized manifold topology for branching space-times
Indeterminism possibility branching general relativity modal consistency non-Hausdorff manifolds
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2016/6/14
The logical theory of branching space-times (Belnap, Synthese 1992), which provides a relativistic framework for studying objective indeterminism, remains mostly disconnected from the discussion of sp...
BH-CIFOL:Case-intensional first order logic.(II) Branching histories
modal logic extension/intension intensional predication and quantification sortal tracing substance indeterminism branching
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2016/6/12
This paper follows Part I of our essay on case-intensional first-order logic (CIFOL; Belnap and Müller 2013). We introduce a framework of branching histories to take account of indeterminism. Ou...
Branching Space-Times and Parallel Processing
Branching space-times parallel processing event structures Chu spaces
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2016/5/31
There is a remarkable similarity between some mathematical objects used in the Branching Space-Times framework and those appearing in computer science in the fields of event structures for concurrent ...
Wally axiomatics of Branching Continuations
branching continuations axioms temporal logic
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2016/5/31
We give a brief introduction to the axiomatization of temporal logics. Branching continuations are shortly presented thereafter and the possibility of their clear syntactical axiomatization in a Hilbe...
A theory of causation: causae causantes (originating causes) as inus conditions in branching space-times
causation indeterminism inus conditions branching space-times
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2011/9/6
Branching space-times (BST) theory, as developed elsewhere, permits a sound and rigorously definable notion of ``originating cause'' or causa causans---a type of transition event---of an outcome event...
No-common-cause EPR-like funny business in branching space-times
Reichenbach common cause branching space-times EPR indeterminism superluminal causation space-like related correlation
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2011/9/6
There is "no EPR-like funny business" if (contrary to apparent fact) our world is as indeterministic as you wish, but is free from the EPR-like quantum-mechanical phenomena such as is sometimes descri...
EPR-like ``funny business'' in the theory of branching space-times
branching space-times EPR indeterminism cause correlation transition
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2011/9/6
EPR-like phenomena are (presumably) indeterministic, but they furthermore suggest that our world involves seeming-strange ``funny business.'' Without invoking any heavy mathematics, the theory of bran...
No-common-cause EPR-like funny business in branching space-times
Reichenbach common cause branching space-times

2008/4/22
There is "no EPR-like funny business" if (contrary to
apparent fact) our world is as indeterministic as you wish,
but is free from the EPR-like quantum-mechanical phenomena
such as is sometimes des...
On Minkowskian Branching Structures
Branching Space-Times BST
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/22
We introduce the notion of a Minkowskian Branching Structure ("MBS" for short). Then we prove some resultsconcerning the phenomenon of funny business in its finitary and infinitary variants.
Probability theory and causation.A branching space-times analysis
branching space-times causation probabilities screening-off
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/22
We provide a formally rigorous framework for integrating singular causation, as understood by Nuel Belnap's theory of causae causantes, and objective single case probabilities. The central notion is t...
The Topology of Branching Universes
space-time many-worlds topology
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/21
The purpose of this paper is to survey the possible topologies of branching space-times, and, in particular, to refute the popular notion in the literature that a branching space-time requires a non-H...
Uncertainty and probability for branching selves
Quantum mechanics Everett many worlds
font style='font-size:12px;'>
2008/4/21
Everettian accounts of quantum mechanics entail that people branch; every possible result of a measurement actually occurs, and I have one successor for each result. Is there room for probability in s...
What Branching Spacetime Might Do for Physics
branching spacetime non-Hausdorff quantum gravity

2008/4/18
In recent years, the branching spacetime (BST) interpretation of quantum mechanics has come under study by a number of philosophers, physicists and mathematicians. This paper points out some implicati...

2008/4/15
I investigate the consequences for semantics, and in particular for the semantics of tense, if time is assumed to have a branching structure not out of metaphysical necessity (to solve some philosophi...
