Favorable Conditions

Property is what’s exchanged in markets, and this chapter examines its nature, introduces the ideological dispute between Locke and Bentham over its origins and the implications of their views for government and individuals, and shows how and to what effect property is exchanged in explicit markets. Rights are distinguished from objects, and property is defined as rights to control specific objects for specific uses at specific times, so different people may own different property rights in a single object at the same time. For Locke, individuals have these rights naturally and create government to protect them, while Bentham argues that government creates rights and can allocate them coercively toward its proper ends. The creation of new rights to resolve disputes is considered, and movement of property rights to higher-valuing owners by voluntary exchange in perfectly favorable conditions is illustrated by a hypothetical dispute over the use of a house.

The Relationship

This chapter concerns the relationship between the split-brain case and the non-split case. In the first half of the chapter, I consider arguments to the effect that if split-brain subjects have two minds apiece, then so do non-split subjects. Sometimes these arguments have taken the form of a reductio against the 2-thinkers claim for split-brain subjects. These arguments do not work: that a split-brain subject has two minds does not mean that I have two minds, although it does mean that I could. The second half of the chapter offers my own proposal for the respect in which R’s and L’s co-embodiment as one animal, S, makes a split-brain subject one of us: I argue that S must be the single object of both R’s and L’s implicit bodily self-awareness.

Basal Sliding

AbstractThe results of regelation experiments, in which a single object is pulled through ice, cannot be applied directly to the problem of basal sliding in glaciers because the two systems have different geometries. When the force applied to a single object is small, impurities trapped in the regelation water-layer around the object inhibit the regelation process. At larger forces, above the Drake-Shreve transition point, impurities are shed in a trace behind the object. However, when ice moves over a series of obstacles a trace may exist above and below the transition point. The regelation velocity below the transition point is not reduced by the effect of trapped impurities. In an experiment in which brass cylingerrs of various cross-sections rotate in ice, the ratio between the expected regelation velocity, calculated using the basal-sliding theory of Nye, and the measured regelation velocity is 8±2, both above and below the transition point. The same ratio has been obtained by other workers with wires of similar thermal conductivity above the transition point. Measurements of température differences indicate that supercooling cannot be the main source of the unexpectedly low regelation velocities above the transition point.

This work presents a small matrix decomposition of the modular path integral for spin arrays or molecular aggregates, which leads to an iterative treatment with respect to the units that comprise the system and the propagation time.
