  2. Free will theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_will_theorem

    The free will theorem states: Given the axioms, if the choice about what measurement to take is not a function of the information accessible to the experimenters (free will assumption), then the results of the measurements cannot be determined by anything previous to the experiments. That is an "outcome open" theorem:

  3. Feller process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feller_process

    Brownian motion and the Poisson process are examples of Feller processes. More generally, every Lévy process is a Feller process. Bessel processes are Feller processes. Solutions to stochastic differential equations with Lipschitz continuous coefficients are Feller processes. [citation needed]

  4. Simon B. Kochen - Wikipedia

    In 1967 Kochen and Ernst Specker proved the Kochen–Specker theorem in quantum mechanics and quantum contextuality. [7] In 2004 Kochen and John Horton Conway proved the free will theorem. The theorem states that if we have a certain amount of free will, then, subject to certain assumptions, so must some elementary particles.

  6. Theory of everything - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything

    For example, although general relativity includes equations that do not have exact solutions, it is widely accepted as a valid theory because all of its equations with exact solutions have been experimentally verified. Likewise, a theory of everything must work for a wide range of simple examples in such a way that we can be reasonably ...

  7. Calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_Variations

    A simple example of such a problem is to find the curve of shortest length connecting two points. If there are no constraints, the solution is a straight line between the points. However, if the curve is constrained to lie on a surface in space, then the solution is less obvious, and possibly many solutions may exist.

    Karyn Hascal, The Healing Place’s president and CEO, said she would never allow Suboxone in her treatment program because her 12-step curriculum is “a drug-free model. There’s kind of a conflict between drug-free and Suboxone.” For policymakers, denying addicts the best scientifically proven treatment carries no political cost.

  9. Incompatibilism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incompatibilism

    [35]: 247-248 The free will theorem of John H. Conway and Simon B. Kochen further establishes that if we have free will, then quantum particles also possess free will. [ 36 ] [ 37 ] This means that starting from the assumption that humans have free will, it is possible to pinpoint the origin of their free will in the quantum particles that ...
