The Scale Freedom of the Universe
This book argues that there is causation at every scale of measurement -- countering the philosophical position that causation, or "e;activity,"e; occurs only at the minutest scales of measurement (the scale of microphysics). Thalos&'s scale-free model, as she shows, is much more hospitable to the models of physicists than are the single-scale models proposed by both reductionists and emergentists.
