Abstract

This book presents an edited collection of chapters on aspects of how narrative theory from the humanities may be exploited to understand, explain, describe, and communicate aspects of complex systems, such as their emergent properties, feedbacks, and downwards causation.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Narrative understanding can mediate between explicit propositional knowledge and experiential knowledge by acquaintance; this is the core of narrative logic, grounded in embodiment and experience.

    “Walsh maintains that it “can mediate between explicit propositional knowledge, knowing that, and experiential knowledge by acquaintance, knowing of”: this is “the core of narrative logic, grounded as it must be in embodiment, in experience” (Walsh, 2018).”

  • This understanding is based on previous real-world sensorimotor experiences, but also requires recollection and retrieval of memories of other instances of collision detection in other games.

    “this understanding is based on previous real-world sensorimotor experiences, but, as Walsh (2018) suggests, it also requires recollection and retrieval of memories of other instances of collision detection in other games, to foresee what will happen after a collision.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
