Cruypenynck wrote to me that, in retrospect, what became important to him over time was "the particular feeling of being connected to a galaxy of artists who had this same, singular relation to Isabelle".
Instead, such an interpretation is warranted only when the weights used to span an agentʼs set of beliefs stand in a singular relation with the prior type distribution that is known as an alternative characterization of Blackwell dominance.
Ockham's claim is simply that all our basic scientific terms, whether absolute or connotative, signify nothing but singular substances or qualities (plus some singular relations in certain exceptional theological cases).
These relations range from controlled approximations over singular limit relations (Batterman 2004) to structural relations (Gähde 1997) and rather loose relations called stories (Hartmann 1999; see also Bokulich 2003).
We estimate the probability of a photon to move faster than light, under the Einstein dynamics which, unlike the wave equation or Maxwell wave dynamics, has singular dispersion relation at zero momentum.
One should understand the difference between regular and singular limiting relations as follows.
Figure 19 Recontextualised singulars in relation to the educational linguistics region known as the Sydney School.
The interconnections are established partly in response to C.J. Ducasse's attempt, in reaction to Hume's regularity theory of causation, to define singular causal relations without appeal to covering laws (Ducasse 1926).
Ducasse intended this definition to rebut Hume's claim that singular causal relations between particular events must be analyzed in terms of regularities between types of events (and thus laws).
Davidson argues for the cause-law principle that singular causal relations require strict covering laws on the basis of a conceptual interconnection between the concepts of physical object, event and law.
And, most relevantly, singular properties and relations like being a student of Quine that involve expressions for a relation and an individual are constituted by those very entities, in this case, in this case, the relation being a student of and Quine himself.
