Including the indigenous people in negotiations was perhaps an obvious idea in retrospect, but it was a radical one in a country where they have been ignored and marginalised for centuries and where many Argentinians are unaware of their very existence, assuming them to have been wiped out long ago.
If this narrow supervenience thesis is true, then Swampman will have phenomenal consciousness when he comes into existence, assuming Davidson did at t.
Theorem 3.1 Existence Assume that Φ R (F, y, β, t ) is τ-compact for every t ⩾ 0 and non-empty for some t 0 ⩾ 0.
In a recent review of computational mirror neuron models [ 11], a taxonomy based on the methodology underlying such models has been proposed, identifying four main categories: "data driven," "reason for existence," "assume existence" and "evolutionary algorithm," which are in some cases further subdivided.
For instance, models in the "reason for existence" and "assume existence" categories try to, one way or another, determine the functions of the mirror system and replicate this in artificial agents to endow them with the same capability.
It should be no surprise that a surveillance program whose existence was assumed rather than debated, and whose legal basis was retrofitted rather than carefully considered by Congress, trampled on the privacy rights of hundreds of millions.
In his Critique of Practical Reason he went on to argue that, despite the failure of these arguments, morality requires that God's existence is assumed, owing to practical reason.
Zhuangzi seems to have viewed death as a natural process or transformation, where one gives up one form of existence and assumes another.
We go out of existence, it is assumed, when we die, so death involves the loss of what is essential to our existence.
Indeed, existing works assume the existence of redundant paths and nodes [55].
