All about Brad McFall.

no, but please dont sterilize me prematurely.

I can not tell the difference between the legal page of mine and Gingerich's page 227!!!!!!!The same thing was happening in Marxism across the globe?This message has been edited by Brad McFall, 05-06-2005 06:25 PM

Truth was that this was not me but ALlEN BENTON.
evcurl where author is properly attributed
I had a nice conversation with him last summer about niche construction and galls at my grandma's 95th birthday party. I let it go because I figured that
Nighttrain (on letter "o"z"o" and a mapetc)
knew and could correct anyone who didnt know which thread the post came from. In further invelopments I had merely taken it from another creation/evolution site where I HAD posted even more of Alan's stuff because I was getting annoyed there (not evc) and I thought the readers could use a break (something like our "coffe house"). Sorry for not making the change earlier.Dr.Benton was a flea and mouse expert before he retired. He was one of the scientists of my childhood. He was one of the first teachers to fill the new science building at SUNY Fredonia my grandfather designed. His poems are great and his short stories about various creatures are also interesting. I dont know if you still want some of them since they are not from my pen.In fact I AM NOT this good at writing. He still writes a weekly Nature section in the local Chataqua paper.

It is really not appropriate for me to ask Fitzwarren (Allen's pen name) if "sWard" is my grandmother's maiden name and Stanley my granddad below with Falls"" me as in the previous for you noticed quite rightly that Benton's literature work is good just as it is without adding my hubris. He told me last summer as we got into talking that a professor once told him that he looked like "death warmed over". I guess that is the price for writing good stuff.
Anyway the sward has not changed a bit since he was"king" writing things like

IT looks like it is getting even darker"" for me as I must've sliPed into Holmes's last 25%. Northwestern is not Northeastern-but now I have Ben to interpret... I am still looking for someone onthis (~your side). This style of the letter E was introduced by Mercator(THE BOOK NOBODY READ by Owen Gingerich page241) and my scaled off scales of a creationist's mud turtle...the same, I guess, if still to the right.

This has gone way beyond Lam's avatar morphing capabilities. Mam-my's Ithaca is oblivious! I am not just playing around with you all. You waste too much time here on EvC in the wake of the fin again without gain. You really haven't asked me anything lately. So if you really can not understand me, try to understand Gould's use of the word "recursion . He attached it maximally to the SQUARE below. Please DO read if anypart CHAPTER FOUR "Internalism and Laws of Form: Pre-Darwinian Alternatives to Functionalism."
SOETH
I have situated in that above and the two below what I will try to work out as to the extremes of Stephen's line but note in the above I have not rejected today as Dr. Gould did, Darwin's reference to use/disuse nor direct action of the external environment.

Good luck for this IS ALL DOABLE on evc if we work it out and dont just lump the sky hook and providence. The logic will remain no matter what incomensurabilities continue. I can only be globally wrong in this particular geometrization if the plurivocal nature of the word "frequency" won't come out of Derrida's reading on Husserl's Halle.See also my individuated position/%

Gaw-Snow's snow removal sevice brought out what appears a #5 of me in my e-mail today. If no one responds to this post I wont add any more of this kind of stuff. I dont know if there is still any interest in the thread about me. Best. Brad. I am taking a written English class this semester so EvCers will be able to judge by the time Santa Claws again.

Ok, thanks, I feel better. I will forward these EvC mails directly to you in the future and not give them a second thought unless they post directly to a thread here on this website. I did respond to this possible poster personally with an occluded reference to Gingerich's book about Copernicus.Also to BB above...thanks again. It has been you most of all here that has kept the ditch above the gutter.

I was not thinking of no longer posting on eVc but I was only wondering if this thread was to survive the "witching hour numeral". Yes, I suspect the English course will be more difficult for me than the Database Concepts one. Maybe I will still retain my vernacular type but I have never been averse to writing better than I speak. It should hopefully only appear here if it enhance my ability to communicate. I have no desire to write stuff htat being tough I simply smooth over with versions of Struck and Rite. nano-nano is better. It is odd that Robin's posts to me that were more literary were questioned in the past seeing how well people are taking to th "play" but no, I guess I missed your post there. I had read Percy's immediately above and I guess the next time I looked the thread had already "browsed on" beyond my small mental scrolling back paragon that functions nonetheless. Yes you said some things indeed!

I had been wathcing Feynmann's daughter introduce the new book of correspondence of her Dad and it is clear that she does not in any way appreciate what he contributed to science. One day I really want to get to the top of Penrose's modeling of Twistors after Feynman diagrams... so I was curious to see how CaveD was to dive into the Penrose question about "time". There is plenty of incommensurabilites THERE!! And Yes, I plan to get back to SteveN showing that Gould DID provide more than simple geneic selectionism which has been the best, sans religion, that Richard Dawkins has popularized mimetically at worst.Many posters here might not recognize Rhain but, of course, I do. and for the rest WOW enough. I can pull a lot out of that. Who is Schneider though? & you are perfectly correct that in the past week I have definitely figured that there IS an an absolute "external" to what I have been adding onto EvC etc even if there might not be an absolute determinism in all of biology soma. God speed my friend, speed but do not run.

Is Richard Dawkins ever going to be fair with me if he and I ever met? Stephen Gould was. It might be my falling that I will have to find myself on the stair step dissing any Dawkinsish fishyness in the Lewontin sense for BOTH Gould's respect of Richard lAwentin AnD his own ideas on hierarchy that I would have to have found only subjectively to be suspect despite the rigours of deconstructable logos.Here would be a top thing I can say.George Williams wrote

Whenever such arguments work as well at one level as at another, the acceptance of one level and the rejection of the other might seem a matter of taste and of little consequence. It is in precisely such a situation, however, that Occam's razor must be used. The principle of adaptation must be recognized at no higher a level of organization than is absolutely necessary.

---

It is not a little sequence to see if indeed an adpative oversight is not better Darwinized by Gladyshev's reference to "substance stability" than thinking Occam's razor and parsimony are somehow related. I cross languages in that comment though. It is better if I try to keep my English restricted unless apprehended by others. Minimzation under Gladyshev's law by dint of the full underlying differential can not recognize a higher level of organization than is continuualy desired or is necessary and sufficent. The phyiscs is still bullying my bare bear T-shirt. This is NOT suprefluid but would if true have sources and sinks.This message has been edited by Brad McFall, 08-15-2005 08:45 AM

Yes, Feynman does. I loved his attempts to *change* his dreams. I even tried it after reading he did. I know what "tree" he slept under on his first night in Ithaca. I had said HIS DAUGHTER didnt appreciate it not that he was/nt brilliant. Lastly, I wondered if Schneider might have been the Cornell IT guy who breifs Microsoft on Security Issues. Oh, Well. At least that was one that I should have found if I was awake. I hope I am still sleeping though. Richard was clearly thinking WITH Einstein on that light vs object thing. As for SteveN lack of reply... it only indicates to me that he cant think of his viruses as living as I can supramolecular hierarchies as dead.This message has been edited by Brad McFall, 08-18-2005 03:15 PM

Sorry about that. I have been so misplaced in personal space and time that that probably was not supposed to have occurred. I still remember the encounter.To set the record straight, once and for all, as I know more or less nownthat I can not straighten out how my family interprets the past.. I was hospitalized because I OUT RIGHT REFUSED to decide on the statstical tests to do in research on biological change in before I investigated the causality(Croizat's) further. I have done that. As Bill Shipley's narrates a humanity that was not in possession of the means to this end in the fall of 87 when I dogmatically would not commit myself, the issue of my mental health was raised (which is what caused no small amount of grief on my part)( I want to thank all evcers for keeping me on the striaght and narrow)for the first time in my life and within a month I was committed against my will which is prooved by Shipley to remain not ill but mentally in existence, now or then. I was only 1/2 a year late for my future. Bertand Russel challenged Kant on if temporal succession is different than spatial position actually. The 'jury' is still out for me phenomenologically.

2 From cause to correlation and back

​

2.1 Translating from causal to statistical models

​

The official language of statistics is the probablity calculus, based on th enotion of a probability distribution. For instance, if you conduct an analysis of variance (ANOVA) then the key piece of information is the probabilty of observing the particular value of Fisher's F statistic in a random sample of data, given a particular hypothesis or model. To obtain this crucial piece of information you (or your computer) must know the probability density function of the F statistic. Certain other (mathematical) languages are tolerated within statistics but, but in the end, one must link one'd ideas to a probability distribution in order to be understood. If we wish to study causal relationships using statistics, it is necessary that we translate, without error, from the language of causality to the only language that statistics can understand: probability theory.

​

Such a rigorous translation device did not exist until recently (Pearl 1988).

The same subtle mistakes of translation can occur when translating between the language of causality and the mathematical language of probability distributions.

Brad's website is really here!
BradsMcFall's websiteI am finally getting something together. You can look for updates throughout the rest of the semester. Cheers!!

The links are still off line.I have added another quote from Mayr and stated my intentions "to show that it is inconsequential whether or not Darwin changed his mind on reading Malthus or from facts of breeding under domestication." I know we disagree somewhat probably there-where I will put the third page of content but any comments, such as on style, page technique, size of print, color schemes etc would be greatly appreciated from you or anyone else reading this. Eventually I intend on spelling "firstpage" correctly. To-ward a BSM philosophy of biology
