Postulates

Implications of Cox's postulates The laws of probability derivable from these postulates are the following.

It also produces the instability Fiorina postulates.

According to the postulates of quantum mechanics, such quantities are defined by Hermitian operators that act on the Hilbert space of possible states of a system.

Additional postulates are necessary to motivate why the ensemble for a given system should have one form or another.

Adler postulates that the visit must have occurred prior to Saladin 's capture of Jerusalem in 1187.

A fundamental divergence, however, between Harris and Berne is that Berne postulates that everyone starts life in the "I'm OK" position, whereas Harris believes that life starts out "I'm not OK, you're OK".

A hypothesis of Albertosaurus life history postulates that hatchlings died in large numbers, but have not been preserved in the fossil record due to their small size and fragile construction.

Also, while the worlds of the many-worlds interpretation all share the same physical laws, modal realism postulates a world for every way things could conceivably have been.

Although spin and the Pauli principle can only be derived from relativistic generalizations of quantum mechanics the properties mentioned in the last two paragraphs belong to the basic postulates already in the non-relativistic limit.

Arguments that God does not exist In Nyayasutra's Book 4, Chapter 1, verses 19-21, postulates God exists, states a consequence, then presents contrary evidence, and from contradiction concludes that the postulate must be invalid.

As the "dopamine hypothesis" has evolved over time, however, the sorts of dysfunctions it postulates have tended to become increasingly subtle and complex.

Austrian business cycle theory postulates that business cycles are caused by the misallocation of resources from consumption to investment during "booms", and out of investment during "busts".

Axioms and postulates are the basic assumptions underlying a given body of deductive knowledge.

Ball, p. 485 Since non-Euclidean geometry is provably relatively consistent with Euclidean geometry, the parallel postulate cannot be proved from the other postulates.

Beginning not long after Euclid, many attempted demonstrations were given, but all were later found to be faulty, through allowing into the reasoning some principle which itself had not been proved from the first four postulates.

Developed by Alan Guth and others in the 1980s, inflation postulates a period of extremely rapid accelerated expansion of the universe prior to the expansion described by the standard Big Bang theory.

Dowbiggin argues that not every eugenist joined the ESA "solely for eugenic reasons", but he postulates that there were clear ideological connections between the eugenics and euthanasia movements.

Einstein, "Fundamental Ideas and Methods of the Theory of Relativity", 1920 Following Einstein's original presentation of special relativity in 1905, many different sets of postulates have been proposed in various alternative derivations.

For a survey of such derivations, see Lucas and Hodgson, Spacetime and Electromagnetism, 1990 However, the most common set of postulates remains those employed by Einstein in his original paper.

For example, Benson postulates that Hemingway used his experiences and drew them out with "what if" scenarios: "what if I were wounded in such a way that I could not sleep at night?
