Abstract:
We contemplate Deleuze and Guattari's discussion of in/compossibility through engagement with practices of spatial planning and development at the urban fringe in Australia. In such sites of ecosystem transformation, the presence of wildlife, such as mosquitoes, is often deemed incompossible with felicitous human habitation. We suggest that regarding worlds like those of mosquitoes and humans as divergent, rather than incompossible, opens up opportunities for inclusive disjunctive syntheses which affirm the disjoined terms without excluding one from the other.

Abstract:
This paper discusses the semantics of so-called de re propositional attitudes. According to the standard Kaplanian analysis, the semantics of such dicta contains existential quantifica­tion over functions that map the attitude holder and the object of their de re attitude to an individual concept by which the attitude holder identifies the object. This existential quantifi­cation has a wider scope than the universal quantification over possible worlds that is general­ly associated with the semantics of attitude dicta. We explore examples of disjunctive de re attitudes and show that these dicta

Globalization, as a multifaceted phenomenon, influences culture, language, and human interaction on a global scale. This article reflects on Appadurai's theoretical perspectives on globalization, particularly his concepts of disjuncture and 'scapes.' Appadurai critiques the homogenization narrative, emphasizing how global cultural flows like ethnoscapes, technoscapes, mediascapes, financescapes, and ideoscapes shape 'imagined worlds' and cultural identities. These 'scapes' depict the interconnected yet disjunctive realities of globalization, fostering cultural hybridization and deterritorializ

Abstract:
What is called “time travel” cinema is but one aspect in a tripartite series of interweaving modes of disjunctive narration which is also – simultaneously – a cinema of “many worlds” and “altered states”. Exploiting Gilles Deleuze's three syntheses of time, space, and consciousness from Difference and Repetition (1968) allows a conceptual development of these cinematic series through three popular Hollywood film cycles beginning with Planet of the Apes (Franklin J. Schaffner, 1968), The Terminator (James Cameron, 1984), and Back to the Future (Robert Zemeckis, 1985). In so doing, film and phil

Commentary and guiding themes are drawn from the theories of psychoanalyst Rollo May. These strata and themes have associated musical motifs and/or sound effects, which, as the film progresses, serve as an ontological bridge between the different strata. Land of Dreams is structured

This is especially so for causal theories of content, which will be the primary exemplars here. It is the contention of this essay that this approach is mistaken.

Ritornello form is distinguished from sonata form, and its history as a symphonic form is discussed. An argument is made for separating the theory of form from the study of formal

One important issue is how acts of imagination interact with disjunction: one can imagine some disjunction as obtaining without being imaginatively specific about which disjunction obtains.

Abstract:
Constraint acquisition (CA) is a method for learning users' concepts by representing them as a conjunction of constraints. While this approach works well for many combinatorial problems over finite domains, some applications require the acquisition of disjunctive constraints, possibly coming from logical implications or negations. In this paper, we propose the first CA algorithm tailored to the automatic inference of disjunctive constraints, named DCA. A key ingredient there, is to build upon the computation of maximal satisfiable subsets. We demonstrate experimentally that DCA is faster and m

Abstract:
Combining the closed-world reasoning of answer set programming (ASP) with the open-world reasoning of ontologies broadens the space of applications of reasoners. Disjunctive hybrid MKNF knowledge bases succinctly extend ASP and in some cases without increasing the complexity of reasoning tasks. However, in many cases, solver development is lagging behind. As the result, the only known method of solving disjunctive hybrid MKNF knowledge bases is based on guess-and-verify, as formulated by Motik and Rosati in their original work. A main obstacle is understanding how constraint propagation may be

Abstract:
We propose a model of random quantified boolean formulas and their natural random disjunctive logic program counterparts. The model extends the standard models for random SAT and 2QBF. We provide theoretical bounds for the phase transition region in the new model, and show experimentally the presence of the easy-hard-easy pattern. Importantly, we show that the model is well suited for assessing solvers tuned to real-world instances. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, our model and results on random disjunctive logic programs are the first of their kind.

Abstract:
The disjunctive restricted chase is a sound and complete procedure for solving boolean conjunctive query entailment over knowledge bases of disjunctive existential rules. Alas, this procedure does not always terminate and checking if it does is undecidable. However, we can use acyclicity notions (sufficient conditions that imply termination) to effectively apply the chase in many real-world cases. To know if these conditions are as general as possible, we can use cyclicity notions (sufficient conditions that imply non-termination). In this paper, we discuss some issues with previously existing

Abstract:
In this paper, we study reasoning with existential rules in a setting where some of the predicates may be closed (i.e., their content is fully specified by the data instance) and the remaining open predicates are interpreted under active-domain semantics. We show, unsurprisingly, that the main reasoning tasks (satisfiability and certainty / possibility of Boolean queries) are all intractable in data complexity in the general case. However, several positive (PTIME data) results are obtained for the linear fragment, and interestingly, these tractability results hold also for various extensions,

Abstract:
The restricted chase is a sound and complete algorithm for conjunctive query answering over ontologies of disjunctive existential rules. We develop acyclicity conditions to ensure its termination. Our criteria cannot always detect termination (the problem is undecidable), and we develop the first cyclicity criteria to show non-termination of the restricted chase. Experiments on real-world ontologies show that our acyclicity notions improve significantly over known criteria.

Abstract:
Should the properties of constraint monotonicity and foundedness be mandatory requirements that every answer set and world view semantics must satisfy? This question is challenging and has incurred a debate in answer set programming (ASP). In this paper we address the question by introducing natural logic programs whose expected answer sets and world views violate these properties and thus may be viewed as counter-examples to these requirements. Specifically we use instances of the generalized strategic companies problem for ASP benchmark competitions as concrete examples to demonstrate that t

Abstract:
We consider ontology-mediated queries (OMQs) based on expressive description logics of the ALC family and (unions) of conjunctive queries, studying the rewritability into OMQs based on instance queries (IQs). Our results include exact characterizations of when such a rewriting is possible and tight complexity bounds for deciding rewritability. We also give a tight complexity bound for the related problem of deciding whether a given MMSNP sentence (in other words: the complement of a monadic disjunctive Datalog program) is equivalent to a constraint satisfaction problem.
