Abstract:
Quantum theory describes our universe incredibly successfully. To our classically-inclined brains, however, it is a bizarre description that requires a reimagining of what fundamental reality, or 'ontology', could look like. This thesis examines different ontological features in light of the success of quantum theory, what it requires, and what it rules out. While these investigations are primarily foundational, they also have relevance to quantum information, quantum communication, and experiments on quantum systems. The way that quantum theory describes the state of a system is one of its mo

Abstract:
The Bible claims that God actively governs the world on a day-to-day basis; that is, he is an active causal agent. The Bible also appears to claim that there are naturally occurring events; that is, in addition to divine causality there is natural causality. The thesis explores whether dual causality is theologically viable; whether nature may allow space for God to govern without violation of the laws of nature; and the desirability of causal closure. Having arrived at the conclusion that dual causality is viable both theologically and physically, and that causal closure is desirable, it will

Abstract:
The recent discovery of a new maximally supersymmetric background for the type IIB superstring theory has revived the interest in light cone string field theory. This background is a plane wave background with the additional support of a non- trivial self dual Ramond-Ramond 5-form field strength. It can be quantised in the light cone gauge and hence it naturally fits into the framework of light cone string field theory. In this thesis we re-examine the causality and locality properties of string theory in the flat background and compare it with the recent results for string theory in this plan

Abstract:
Based on a number of experimentally verified physical observations, it is argued that the standard principles of quantum mechanics should be applied to the Universe as a whole. Thus, a paradigm is proposed in which the entire Universe is represented by a pure state wavefunction contained in a factorisable Hilbert space of enormous dimension, and where this statevector is developed by successive applications of operators that correspond to unitary rotations and Hermitian tests. Moreover, because by definition the Universe contains everything, it is argued that these operators must be chosen sel

Abstract:
The epistemic theory of causality maintains that causality is an epistemic relation, so that causality is taken to be a feature of the way an agent represents the world rather than an agent-independent or non-epistemological feature of the world. The objective of this essay is to cause problems for the epistemic theory of causality. This is not because I think that the epistemic theory is incorrect. In fact, I spend some time arguing in favour of the epistemic theory of causality. Instead, this essay should be regarded as something like an exercise in stress testing. The hope is that by causin

Abstract:
Approved for public release; distribution in unlimited.<br>The principles of Sun Tzu's Art of War have been widely used by business executives and military officers with much success in the realm of competition and conflict. However, when conflict situations arise in a highly stressful environment coupled with the pressure of time, decision makers may not be able to consider all the key concepts when forming their decisions or strategies. Therefore, a structured reasoning approach may be used to apply Sun Tzu's principles correctly and fully. Sun Tzu's principles are believed to be able to be

Abstract:
Since their discovery in the 1950's by Erdos and Renyi, network theory (the study of objects and their associations) has blossomed into a full-fledged branch of mathematics. Due to the network's flexibility, diverse scientific problems can be reformulated as networks and studied using a common set of tools. I define a network G = (V,E) composed of two parts: (i) the set of objects V, called nodes, and (ii) set of relationships (associations) E, called links, that connect objects in V. We can extend the classic network of nodes and links by describing the intensity of these associations with we

Abstract:
Despite the criminal nature of intimate partner violence, scholars infrequently apply general theories of crime to understanding its causes (Dixon, Archer, & Graham-Kevan, 2012). Indeed, some scholars reject the notion that the causes of intimate partner violence align with the causes of general crime and violence (Dobash, Dobash, Wilson, & Daly, 1992). A second area of contention is whether male and female violence can be explained within the same theoretical framework (Dutton & Nicholls, 2005). In this thesis I argue that as a type of criminal behaviour, understanding the causes of intimate

Abstract:
Les données sous forme de chaîne de symboles sont très variées (ADN, texte, EEG quantifié,…) et ne sont pas toujours modélisables. Une description universelle des chaînes de symboles indépendante des probabilités est donc nécessaire. La complexité de Kolmogorov a été introduite en 1960 pour répondre à cette problématique. Le concept est simple : une chaîne de symboles est complexe quand il n'en existe pas une description courte. La complexité de Kolmogorov est le pendant algorithmique de l’entropie de Shannon et permet de définir la théorie algorithmique de l’information. Cependant, la complex
