Sentence examples for indistinguishability from inspiring English sources

In practice, there is some difference in the case of an electron because of the indistinguishability of the incident and atomic electrons.

As chemists used the criterion of chemical indistinguishability as part of the definition of an element, they were forced to conclude that ionium and mesothorium were not new elements after all, but rather new forms of old ones.

He criticizes as "shameful" the fictionalized Mark Zuckerberg's "monomaniacal pursuit of success which knows no scruple," and adds, The direction itself seems conceived as a critical formalization of the Facebook "community": speed and virtuality of exchanges, aggregation of solitudes, solipsism of points of view, indistinguishability of lies and truth.

And this feeling was intertwined, ultimately to the point of indistinguishability, with the thought of suicide, which was the one sure way out of his imprisonment; surer than addiction, surer than fiction, and surer, finally, than love.

As for the "indistinguishability of lies and truth," the Internet is also a formidable tool for tracking down information, precisely in the interest of distinguishing lies from truth.

A different strategy against the slow-switching argument, pursued by Brown (2004), Sawyer (1999), and Warfield (1992 , 1997, is to argue that, although introspective indistinguishability does undermine self-knowledge in the slow switching cases, since such cases are merely hypothetical, they pose no real threat to any actual person's self-knowledge.

This assumption is based on the observational indistinguishability of the magnitudes represented by ∏α and ∏α ⊗ Iβ: if the ∏α-measurement has a certain outcome, then the ∏α ⊗ Iβ-measurement has exactly the same outcome.

However, Vermaas (1998) argues that the observational indistinguishability of the magnitudes represented by ∏α and ∏α ⊗ Iβ does not force one to consider these two projectors as representing the same property: in fact, they are distinguishable from a theoretical viewpoint, since they are defined on different Hilbert spaces.

The indistinguishability of hallucination from veridical perception is grounded in the similarity of their effects.

These were developed in various ways during the 1980s, with a unifying study by Halpern and Vardi (1989), who considered a variety of 96 temporal-epistemic logics with semantics based on so-called interpreted systems: sets of runs in a transition system with epistemic indistinguishability relations on the state space for each agent.

Harnad also considers the suggestion that it might be an appropriate goal for AI to aim for "neuromolecular indistinguishability," but rejects this suggestion on the grounds that once we know how to make a robot that can pass his Total Turing Test, there will be no problems about mind-modeling that remain unsolved.
