(2011) Integrative problem-solving in a time of decadence, Dordrecht, Springer.
Let us start with a metaphor: The matter of space–time may be represented by the so-called"Canvas vs. Parenthood" dilemma (Musser): Is space–time like a canvas that exists whether or not the artist paints on it, or is space–time akin to parenthood that does not exist until there are parents and children? A related question is the "asymmetry of time": Is time's asymmetry a property of states of the world rather than a property of time as such? One could even consider the far-flung connections between the geometry of space–time and the distribution of attributes within space–time: Can this distribution influence space–time and vice versa?
