A «parcel» of air, or «differential» volume of air in any macroscopic discussion is a volume large enough to contain enough molecules that thermodynamic averages pertain to the behavior of the parcel as if the air inside were a continuous fluid, so that when conducting this sort of discussion we can ignore the movement of individual molecules across the surface of (which are in detailed balance anyway, at equilibrium).

You've got an insulated jar of air, and you've left it sitting on the counter for the last ten years, but somehow you think that the air inside is busy busy moving up and down in macroscopic packets, heating at the bottom, cooling at the top, and yet somehow the bottom never gets any cooler and the top never gets any warmer!

It's easy to imagine all sorts of ways in which indeterminacy on the quantum level can be amplified so as to issue in macroscopic changes in the world

Present states or movements in the inorganic arena appear to us to be determined totally by the history of past commotion in the macroscopic order as described by classical physics.

Not exact matches

An actual supernatural thing would, for us to interact with it in any way, be required to impinge upon this space - time continuum, and we see that, regardless of scale, i.e. microscopic or macroscopic, there is absolutely zero evidence that there is anything interacting with us or our universe in any way.

I analyzed the superficial plausibility of Perry's example before in pointing out that it is borrowed from the macroscopic realm which is for all practical purposes deterministic; the predictability of any macroscopic particle is only approximate and does not alter the basic contingencies of the elementary microphysical events of which a «particle» consists.

It functions in the nature of the Buddhist middle way, attaching to nothing either substantial or non-substantial and involving in its train the dharmadhatu, which is at once the content of experiential fact in the microscopic as well as macroscopic processes.

What appears to us as a predetermined «path of the future» is really the whole range of multiple possibilities which only in our inaccurate and simplifying macroscopic — and macrochronic — perspective shrinks to what it looks as an infinitely thin line of «the only possible future path.»

At the macroscopic level societies of occasions are preserved in their dominant patterns through adaptation to their environment.7 This adjustment is pursued ultimately not for its own sake, but for the sake of providing a stable actual world in which the constituent occasions may be nurtured toward the achievement of greater intensities of self - realization.

Thus it is possible that a single neuron might be interdependent in the mode of ontic power with a macroscopic feature of action (e.g., conscious understanding) simultaneous with it and also make a contribution by way of its causal power to a later neural occurrence in some other part of the brain.

Over against these highly macroscopic designations, some studies have taken a much more specific spatial and temporal orientation, focusing for example on a specific event such as the overthrow of the shah in Iran or a series of related episodes such as the conflicts between Jews and Palestinians in Israel.

What exactly does it mean for a (human) body to exist in space - time or as a macroscopic extension of a quantum foam, and how can the soul be seen to exist in a universe whose hidden dimensions go well beyond the three we can observe?

21 In his James Lectures at Harvard in 1940, he abandoned the term «particulars» for «universals» or «qualities» that, based on the examples he cites, functioned somewhat like Whiteheadian «eternal objects»: that is, ordinary macroscopic objects or experiences are to be conceived as a particular togetherness of these qualia at a given locus in spacetime.In his James Lectures at Harvard in 1940, he abandoned the term «particulars» for «universals» or «qualities» that, based on the examples he cites, functioned somewhat like Whiteheadian «eternal objects»: that is, ordinary macroscopic objects or experiences are to be conceived as a particular togetherness of these qualia at a given locus in spacetime.in 1940, he abandoned the term «particulars» for «universals» or «qualities» that, based on the examples he cites, functioned somewhat like Whiteheadian «eternal objects»: that is, ordinary macroscopic objects or experiences are to be conceived as a particular togetherness of these qualia at a given locus in spacetime.in spacetime.22

It may be that to macroscopic observation nothing has changed during this period in the generalized arrangement of the cerebral neurons.

The Whiteheadian notion of society, on the other hand, can be employed without ambiguity in both the microscopic and the macroscopic worlds.

I too believe that the Whiteheadian actual entity is an organism in miniature; that is, it exhibits in its self - constitution the same basic teleology or purposiveness which characterizes physical organisms on the macroscopic level of existence.

Hence, to deal properly with Hegel, whose organismic understanding of reality is grounded in the analysis of macroscopic organisms, the true point of comparison should be the Whiteheadian notion of a society, not the doctrine of actual entities.

These data are worked in CE, at least by conceptual valuation and perhaps by reversion so as to attribute to macroscopic nexus eternal objects found among or possible for the occasions that belong to the nexus.

I wanted there to be macroscopic forms as an essential ingredient in the theory, and these exerting an influence on what happened by providing a sort of filter into which the causation of quantum mechanics had to direct itself.

Particularly valuable in part two were the chapters on the persistence of teleology in biological discourse despite its political incorrectness, and the insights into reality being multi-layered (e.g. microscopic and macroscopic; chemical and biological), requiring different sciences to have different methods, and calling for a renewal of metaphysics to incorporate the insights of modern science.

The math says that these multiple layers must exist, and the «microscopic» multiple layers suggest that the universe itself is part of «macroscopic» multiple layers in a larger «bulk.»)

Matter is no longer an ultimate concept; the hierarchy of macroscopic, molecular, atomic, subatomic levels trails away without hitting rock - bottom until matter dissolves into patterns of energy - concentration, and then perhaps into tensions in space.

While such simplifying assumptions were deemed acceptable in the past, they can no longer be regarded as a correct reflection of the underlying dynamics of any realistic natural system.12 Above all, we have shown the contingent (or probabilistic) nature of all dynamically evolving systems at both the microscopic (atomic and sub-atomic) and macroscopic (terrestrial) levels.
