V-DRASTIC is based upon psychophysics' principles (a theory that describes the people's response to a stimulus) to generate alternative groundwater vulnerability categorization schemes.
But in later works he argued that the New Principle was a close enough approximation to the Principal Principle that a theory of chances consistent with it was close enough to our pre-theoretic notion of chance to deserve the name.
It was later expanded to "order in the large over heterogeneity in the small" as the first principle of a theory of organisms.
British physicist John Hubbard then incorporated Pauli's principle in a theory that is now known as the Fermi-Hubbard model, which is the simplest model of interacting atoms, hopping across a lattice.
And so rigid displacement cannot be a basic principle in a theory in which spacetime curvature varies according to the distribution of mass and energy.
Applying the general methodological principle that a theory which does not contain such surplus structure is to be preferred over one that does, Redhead and Teller conclude that we have grounds for preferring the non-individuals package and the mystery of the inaccessible states simply does not arise (Redhead and Teller 1991 and 1992).
Thomas Nagel's Mind and Cosmos, published when he was 75, argues (p. 4) that "psychophysical reductionism, a position in the philosophy of mind that is largely motivated by the hope of showing how the physical sciences could in principle provide a theory of everything," has failed.
This chapter provides an introduction to the fundamental principles of a theory of gambling.
Mechanica, which is closely based on the work of Archimedes, presents a wide range of engineering principles, including a theory of motion, a theory of the balance, methods of lifting and transporting heavy objects with mechanical devices, and how to calculate the centre of gravity for various simple shapes.
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the motivations, methodology and current status of an ongoing research program whose long-term goal is to elucidate the essential principles of a theory of adaptive behavior.
U 2. Genotypes: theoretical generalizations, principles in a theory of language behaviour, that hold for all languages … the fundamental laws governing the production of semantic regularities, the production of grammatical regularities, the source of language change (emphasis in original).
