The Nature of Physical Reality
Abstract. This account of the dynamical theory of chaos leads to a metaphysical picture of a world with an open future, in which the laws of physics are emergent-downward approximations to a more subtle and supple reality and in which there is downward causation through information input as well as...

Such a metaphysical picture can accommodate both human and divine agency. |
