  • Functional dissociability is associated with neural localizability in a strong sense, namely, the system in question is implemented in neural circuitry that is both relatively circumscribed in extent

  • Of the original set of nine features associated with Fodor-modules, then, Carruthers-modules retain at most only five: dissociability, domain specificity, mandatoriness, localizability, and central inaccessibility.

  • Lawrence, I am OK with the general concept of non-localizability (to whatever extent, I presume not “all over the universe”) of gravitational energy in various contexts.

  • At issue is not the existence of gravitational energy, but the localizability of gravitational energy.

  • Malament's no-go theorem thus seems to show that there is no middle ground between QM and QFT, i.e., no theory which deals with a fixed number of particles (like in QM) and which is relativistic (like QFT) without running into the localizability problem of the no-go theorem.

  • While it is clear from classical physics already that the requirement of localizability need not refer to point-like localization, it will turn out later in this section that even localizability in an arbitrarily large but still finite region can be a strong condition for quantum particles.

    Quantum Field Theory Kuhlmann, Meinard 2006

  • For instance, the question of localizability or at least approximate localizability is not even touched while it is certain that this is a pivotal criterion for something to be a particle.

    Quantum Field Theory Kuhlmann, Meinard 2006

  • The results about non-localizability which have been explored above may appear to be not very astonishing in the light of the following facts about ordinary QM: Quantum mechanical wave functions (in position representation) are usually smeared out over all so that everywhere in space there is a non-vanishing probability for finding a particle.

  • The same way I'm not an expert in security but know more about the localizability of account names than some experts in that.

  • Or that I'm not an expert in a number of things, though in explaining how they work with Unicode or with internationalization or localizability or keyboards or whatever, I am.
