Rupert Sheldrake reinterprets the regularities of nature as being more like habits than immutable laws, and argues that past forms and activities of organisms, he argues, influence organisms in the present through direct connections across time and space.

The new lesson which has been impressed upon physicists regarding the caution with which all usual conventions must be applied as soon as the authors are not concerned with everyday experience may be suited to remind us in a novel way of the dangers of judging from their own point of view cultures developed within other societies.

This paper traces a series of devices, and iterations thereof, which physicists mobilize in dealing with hard problems: formal deconstructions, detours and tricks to identify a working deconstruction, variation, `doing examples', modelling and, finally, thought alliances between subjects.

58 Citations1992Herbert W. Hamber
The phase diagram and critical exponents for pure simplicial quantum gravity (Regge calculus) in four dimensions are discussed, and the lattice higher-derivative theories appear to belong to the same phase for large enough {ital G}, which would suggest a common, unitary quantum continuum limit.

It is shown that, in the case of the Gierer-Meinhardt model, self-sustained oscillations are possible when an order parameter, connected with the decay constants of morphogenes, crosses a critical value.
