In addition to the interpretation of theories, emphasis was also laid on the investigative analysis of the relations among various social phenomena and historical literature.
Consequently, those who resist the "semantic interpretation" of theories argue that we might as well treat each as a substitution instance of the principle of natural selection generated by a different probabilistic propensity measure of fitness as a distinct empirical generalization to begin with instead of a model-theoretic definition.
(Lewens 2010: 833) Let us call this interpretation of theories of cultural evolution, which takes population thinking, not natural selection or common ancestry, to be central to theories of cultural evolution, the 'pop-culture' analysis.
Even though it is not a very common term, in the literature, we sometimes find variants of the expression 'token reduction' (Cartwright 1999: 32ff.; Hooker 1981: part III; Bickle 1998: 223ff).. Token-identity theories perfectly match weak interpretations of theory reduction.
Thus there are not enough spatiotemporal entities to interpret set theory literally nor to make a structural interpretation of set theory non-vacuously true, and hence to ensure that set-theoretic falsehoods come out false rather than true.
In 1981, Palm proposed a mathematical interpretation of Hebbian theory in the framework of graph theory.
Of course it would be a mistake to say that decoherence (a part of quantum theory) contradicts the Copenhagen approach (an interpretation of quantum theory).
Late in his life Boltzmann responded to the objections to the probabilistic theory by offering a time-symmetric interpretation of the theory.
As we saw in Section 2.1 Boolos defined an interpretation of the theory MSO of monadic second-order logic in the theory PFO of plural quantification.
A good example of the more common interpretation of Descartes' theory is provided by Ian Hacking, who also attributes the theory, as he understands it, to the Port-Royal Logic.
