• Non-linear estimation is easy (2007, background): “Further numerical improvements 34 Let us refer to a recent book by Smolin (2006), which contains an exciting description of the competition between various theories in today’s physics.”
• Models and fiction (2009, background): “15 For an accessible account of particle physics that makes this aspect explicit see Smolin (2007), in particular Chap.”
• Technology Ecosystem Governance (2014, background): “Furthermore, if we agree that theories are human constructs; languages and vocabularies used to understand a phenomenon (Smolin 2006), then such an argument suggests that duality and dualism exist, but as theoretical languages that guide the empirical interpretation of the researcher.”
