Sentences with phrase «of causal sequence»

I added them in for people who like to consider the statistical question of whether a seeming confirmation of an hypothesis (or rejection of a different hypothesis) happened as a result of a causal sequence independent of the hypothetical mechanism.

A familiar model of a causal sequence which is often associated with science pictures each event as a link in a chain — a separate thing distinctly located in space.

In this view, when the primitive idea of God, which was based on the personification of powers of nature, vanishes gradually behind the infinitude of the causal sequence, the concept of God gains in coherence and consistency in proportion as it achieves a firm position in connection with the claims and needs of the human spirit, and becomes the «irreducible coefficient of the achievement of moral processes in self - consciousness.»

The fact that a contingent event is future introduces an intellectual complication — namely, how, in the absence of causal sequence, certainty can be present in the divine mind — but that does not affect the logical status of the proposition.

Not exact matches

But mere familiarity is not enough, for it does not answer the fundamental question: if the causal relation is identified with the relation of logical implication in which the premises imply the conclusion, is it possible to obtain any temporal sequence at all without surreptitiously borrowing it from experience?

Irreversible causal sequences or increasing entropy in one direction of closed systems over time create «time's arrow.»

The cause of the infinite causal chain may have behind it another infinite sequence of cause and effect, and that one likewise, etc, etc, etc, and all of that likewise had a cause with an infinite sequence behind it, etc, and similarly, etc..

Causal sequences are recognized within the world of appearance but there is no ultimate First Cause.

An actual entity is a substance or set of properties located at a point of intersection of a spatial distance scheme and a temporal causal sequence.

These can occur when we reflect on causal sequences, when we look at daffodils in a particular way, or penetrate into the secrets of the ocean - bed.

Only the succession of causally unrelated event, what Hans Reichenbach called «unreal sequences» (PST 147 - 49) can by an appropriate choice of the frame of reference be reduced to apparent simultaneity or even inverted; but the real concrete causal links — the «world - lines,» in the language of relativity — are objectively irreversible since the order of succession of the events of which they consist remains the same in every frame of reference.

The causal sequence, as I understand it, runs as follows: (1) Inadequate regulation of the financial sector leads to (2) crisis in the financial sector which leads to (3) crisis in the whole economy which leads to (4) falling tax revenues which leads to (5) a bigger budget deficit.

Sequence of causal and timing factors According to Hill, who has studied hunter - gatherers in South America for nearly 30 years, whether by shell beads, other kinds of gifts or through female transfer, the traits of cognition, culture and cooperation would eventually lead to specializations and government.

We integrate observational data — such as from large - scale sequencing and molecular profiling — , with interventional data — systematic genetic or chemical screens — to reconstruct a fuller picture of the underlying causal relationships and actionable intervention points.

The thinking was that sequencing in GWAS regions might therefore reveal all of these causal variants.

Whole - genome sequencing of an affected individual on ABI SOLiD identified a few dozen novel missense mutations; among them lurked the causal variant, which was found to segregate with the disease in a family cohort.

Complete and accurate annotation of structure and function of genome features has the potential to reduce both false - negative (from missing annotation) and false - positive (from incorrect annotation) errors in causal variant identification in exome and genome sequences.

However, since most of the disease variants fall outside the gene coding sequences, thereby implicating gene expression regulation as the causal mechanism, the functional interpretation of the exact role of the associated variants remains to be determined.

And yet, even after you sequence the exomes of several family members (affected and unaffected) the causal variant or gene remains elusive.

In Tibetan Terriers, a causal mutation in position 1623 encoding the sequences in exon 16 of ATP13A2 gene has been found in relation to NCL.

However, they are likely to begin a chain of causal events that can lead to a crime following a natural sequence of escalatory stages if the «suspect» does not change their behavior to stop the progression.

The trier of fact, assisted by the trial judge and the parties, must separate for analytical purposes, the events in the flow, and apply the causal reasoning process to each event in sequence.
