Coarse-graining as a downward causation mechanism | Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences

Downward causation is the controversial idea that ‘higher’ levels of organization can causally influence behaviour at ‘lower’ levels of organization. Here I propose that we can gain traction on downward causation by being operational and examining how ...

@alexbryant I had to look it up, quite interesting actually. #supervenience

Thinking about #metaphysics this evening while on the bus and had a laugh when I saw a Super Convenience store.
