tlooto Summary
The diversity of this complex class of materials is examined, a simple but systematic classification is proposed, and the growing evidence that many hybrid frameworks tend to form under thermodynamic rather than kinetic control when the synthesis is carried out under hydrothermal conditions is discussed.
Abstract
This chapter sets out and motivates a framework for naturalizing content, ‘varitel semantics’. It is based on the explanatory advantages that flow from realism about the vehicles of content. Its distinctive features include: pluralism; eschewing representation consumers; being testing against a desideratum concerning representational explanation rather than against intuitions; and a proposal about the way exploitable relations, vehicle processing and a system’s functions come together to constitute content.
