In Process and Reality and other works, Alfred North Whitehead struggled to come to terms with the impact the new science of quantum mechanics would have on metaphysics.This ambitious book is the first extended analysis of the intricate relationships between relativity theory, quantum mechanics, and Whitehead's cosmology. Michael Epperson illuminates the intersection of science and philosophy in Whitehead's work-and details Whitehead's attempts to fashion an ontology coherent with quantum anomalies.Including a nonspecialist introduction to quantum mechanics, Epperson adds an essential new dimension to our understanding of Whitehead-and of the constantly enriching encounter between science and philosophy in our century.

Foundations of Relational Realism presents an intuitive interpretation of quantum mechanics, based on a revised decoherent histories interpretation, structured within a category theoretic topological formalism. More broadly, as a philosophical enterprise, the authors propose this conceptual framework as a speculative ontological program that includes a rigorous mathematical formalism, providing a coherent and intuitive ontological scheme that is both novel and applicable practically to the physical sciences.

Jüngere Entwicklungen in der Informatik, insbesondere "data-driven procedures", haben ein neues Level für Design und Engineering eröffnet. Davon ist auch die Architektur betroffen. Dieser Band versammelt die Beiträge von Informatikern, Mathematikern, Philosophen, Kulturtheoretikern und Architekten zum Thema Coding as Literacy. Das übergeordnete Interesse gilt dabei der Betrachtung von Computer basierenden Verfahren jenseits eines strikt fallbasierenden und problemlösungs-orientierten Paradigmas: das Thema lädt dazu ein, Computational Procedures als eingebettet in eine übergreifende "Medien Kompetenz" zu verstehen, die sich über eine "computational literacy" erschließen und aneignen lässt, und über die Daten, die in den erwähnten Verfahren verarbeitet werden, auf gewinnbringende Weise in den Begriffen der Quantenphysik nachzudenken. Als konkreten Referenzpunkt für alle weiterführenden Diskussionen werden die sogenannten "Self Organizing Maps" (SOM), welche vor mehr als 30 Jahren eingeführt wurden, in den Blickpunkt gestellt. Recent developments in computer science, particularly "data-driven procedures" have opened a new level of design and engineering. This has also affected architecture. The publication collects contributions on Coding as Literacy by computer scientists, mathematicians, philosophers, cultural theorists, and architects. The main focus in the book is the observation of computer-based methods that go beyond strictly case-based or problem-solution-oriented paradigms. This invites readers to understand Computational Procedures as being embedded in an overarching "media literacy" that can be revealed through, and acquired by, "computational literacy", and to consider the data processed in the above-mentioned methods as being beneficial in terms of quantum physics. "Self-Organizing Maps" (SOM), which were first introduced over 30 years ago, will serve as the concrete reference point for all further discussions.
