Universal Priority of Final Causes Scientific Truth, Realism and The Collapse of Western Rationality

Authors: Krystian Zawistowski
Comments: 190 Pages.

The book deals with the defence of Aristotelian principle of finality as applied to various fields of science and philophy. Especially: theory of language, physics, statistics and quant finance as well as refutation of positivism, Wittgenstein, Kuhn and similar opponents of it.

Improvement of the Tsa System to Enhance Trailer Safety and Stability: a Review

Authors: P. Muruganantham, M. Aathesh, R. Kavirajan, J. G. Sreesudharsan J G, M. Varunesh
Comments: 5 Pages.

Towing trailers introduces unique stability challenges, particularly at higher speeds or during sudden directional changes. Trailer sway — the side-to-side oscillation of the trailer — is a primary contributor to accidents involving towed vehicles. This paper presents the design, development, and evaluation of a Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) system that aims to actively reduce sway by employing rear-wheel steering and selective braking. A scaled-down prototype was constructed using Arduino microcontroller technology, potentiometer-based sway detection, servo motor steering correction, and 12V DC motors for braking force application. The prototype was tested on a treadmill to simulate forward motion and lateral disturbance. The control logic, implemented in Arduino, detects the direction and magnitude of sway and actuates appropriate correctional mechanisms.

The Existence of Chance

Authors: Rosario D'Amico
Comments: 14 Pages. Doi: 10.23756/sp.v12i2.1667 (Note by viXra Admin: Please submit in preprint format only - No journal header etc))

This paper aims to study a particular case to provide a rational basis for recognizing the existence of chance by finding its real trace, that is, specifying its practical meaning, which consists of the following statement known as the Statistical Law of Large Numbers: If an event E has a constant probability p of occurrence on any one trial, and has occurred m times in n trials, then, if the relative frequency of E, m/n, approaches the value of a limit point l and the accuracy of the approximation increases as the number of trials increases, we have l = p. The argument we propose is based on the concepts of "event" and "trial", formulated by the author himself, and their direct implications.

What Tells Geometric Reciprocity about the Mass Constituents of the Universe and the Universe Itself?

Authors: Hans Hermann Otto
Comments: 35 Pages.

The universe is the result of long-lasting stochastic processes in nature, and life is the most complex result of such combined actions of statistics and probability. All these processes occur in the corset of geometry. In this way, natural numbers and their combinations play a dominant role in understanding the fractal universe and its cyclic behavior. We must consider all underlying exact or almost exact relations and reciprocity relations between fundamental numbers that importantly influence statistics, probability and pairing as well as de-pairing behavior. The folding of DNA, for example, is a result of such geometric (besides energetic) considerations. In the parlance of photosynthesis or its newly created artificial pendant such number systems may be considered as number catalysts.
