“…Following Arthur Fine, we cannot stand outside the ‘game’ of science (1986, 156; see also Putnam 1981; Davidson 2001). Given this anthropic ‘interference’ in scientific modelling practices, a model is not a perfectly accurate and complete representation of its subject matter, and – like laws or rules – cannot then serve as an infallible guide to action (see also McIntyre 1998; Chu, Stran and Fjellan 2003; Morin 2008, Ch. 2; Mitchell 2009).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…If this is not possible, they attempt to make rational decisions leading to solutions, which themselves yield the desired order, stability, and consistency [72,75]. Even within the loose and frequently complex structure of organizations, individuals continue to seek a semblance of order and meaning framed by their work, role, and level of responsibility [76].…”

“…Undecidability and computational costliness shed light on the controversy regarding the epistemological or ontological nature of complexity. McIntyre (1998) posed the question of whether complexity is merely a revival of the old debate concerning indeterminism versus hidden variables. Undecidability suggests that there are limits to our knowledge that do not depend on us but on the nature of the problem; in these cases complexity is ontological.…”
