Currently, the consistency principle is criticized as not being adequate for the representation of scenarios of complex adaptive systems, reasoning with the argumentations from transition research that inconsistencies point at dynamics and change.9 This debate shifts the focus of attention towards (slightly, but not completely) inconsistent scenarios.
The one described in Tofigh et al. (2010) may propose scenarios that are not time consistent (because of lateral gene transfer events) and considers losses only a posteriori, whereas the other (Doyon et al. 2010) needs the species tree to be dated so as to avoid time-inconsistent scenarios.
Eighteen participants, who did not take part in the main experiment, judged whether the four possible conjunctions were consistent or inconsistent with each scenario, for 38 scenarios.
Rather, there was never enough skeletal material to suggest that more than two (relatively) complete skeletons were placed in a single urn, which is inconsistent with a scenario of Carthaginians sacrificing or at least cremating groups of infants whose remains were then carefully collected and interred together in the same urn.
This is only possible if the particle travels ∼40 nm in along the optical axis, which is inconsistent with the scenario suggested by the referees.
However, the fragmented distribution of one East Asian specific Y chromosome lineage (D-M174), which is found at high frequencies only in Tibet, Japan and the Andaman Islands, is inconsistent with this scenario.
In the scenario of inconsistent signals, the combined system is able to resolve inconsistent or conflicting statistical information and then provide a single response through the consolidation of statistical information from the two sources.
And a doomsday scenario is inconsistent with the strength of equity markets.
The theoretical results based on the former scenario are inconsistent with the available experimental data that indicated that the majority of 5'-nucleolytic processing events are carried out by the same PolI molecule that has just extended the upstream primer terminus.
In three patients, the clinical scenario was inconsistent with the GEM-predicted foster primary (Table 3).
