A de Broglie–Bohm Model of Pure Shape Dynamics: N-Body system
We provide the construction of a de Broglie–Bohm model of the N -body system within the framework of Pure Shape Dynamics. The equation of state of the...

Dynamics, locality and weak measurements: trajectories and which-way information in the case of a simplified double-slit setup
Understanding how the interference pattern produced by a quantum particle in Young’s double-slit setup builds up—the “only mystery” of quantum...

Prediction of Star Polygon Types in Islamic Geometric Patterns with Deep Learning
Historical buildings in the Eastern world of architecture host many Islamic geometric patterns which are known as mathematically sophisticated...

A quantitative analysis of David Fabricius’ astronomical observations
David Fabricius, a Reformed pastor in Ostfriesland, was highly regarded by Kepler as an exceptional observer, second only to Tycho Brahe. From 1596...

Convivial Solipsism as a Maximally Perspectival Interpretation
A classification of different interpretations of the quantum formalism is examined and the concept of perspectival interpretation is presented. A...

Free-energy calculations in condensed matter: from early challenges to the advent of umbrella sampling
The investigation of condensed matter transformations hinges on the precision of free-energy calculations. This article charts the evolution of...

Pascual Jordan: from matrix multiplication to interference law
Pascual Jordan was the first to propose the law of interference of probability amplitudes as a principle of quantum mechanics. We analyze the role of...

Univalence and Ontic Structuralism
The persistent challenge of formulating ontic structuralism in a rigorous manner, which prioritizes structures over the entities they contain, calls...

Parameters, Modeling and Taxonomy for an HBIM Baroque Facade
This contribution explores the application of the BIM methodology in the context of built heritage (HBIM). Specifically, it investigates how this...

A Geometric Analysis of Masonry Sail Vaults at the Magistral Palace, Valletta, for the Study of Maltese Stereotomy
The research deals with an interesting interdisciplinary case study for the knowledge and dissemination of masonry sail vaults in Malta between the...

Relational Quantum Mechanics and Intuitionistic Mathematics
We propose a model of physics that blends Rovelli’s relational quantum mechanics (RQM) interpretation with the language of finite information...

The practice of principles: Planck’s vision of a relativistic general dynamics
Planck’s pioneering contributions to special relativity have received less consideration than one might expect in the historiography and philosophy...

PBR, Nonreality and Entangled Measurement
In a recent paper, Cabbolet argues that the PBR theorem is nonreal since in the ensemble interpretation of quantum mechanics the entangled...

Percolating lives: statistical mechanics in Naples
We reconstruct the intriguing case of the formation of the Naples group of Statistical Mechanics, which took more than two decades, from the first...

Luigi Moretti’s Formalised Methods and his Use of Mathematics in the Design Process of Architettura Parametrica’s Swimming Stadiums
The use of mathematical structures as a design tool by Luigi Moretti, the first theorist of Architettura Parametrica , is an unexplored theme even...

Phenomenology, Perspectivalism and (Quantum) Physics
It has been claimed that Massimi’s recent perspectival approach to science sits in tension with a realist stance. I shall argue that this tension can...

On Fermi’s Resolution of the “4/3 Problem” in the Classical Theory of the Electron
We discuss the solution proposed by Fermi to the so called “4/3 problem” in the classical theory of the electron, a problem which puzzled the physics...

Felix Klein’s early contributions to anschauliche Geometrie
Between 1873 and 1876, Felix Klein published a series of papers that he later placed under the rubric anschauliche Geometrie in the second volume of...

Foundational Issues in Group Field Theory
In this paper I offer an introduction to group field theory (GFT) and to some of the issues affecting the foundations of this approach to quantum...
