Simulated Affection, Engineered Trust: How Anthropomorphic AI Benefits Surveillance Capitalism

Adele Olof-Ors, Martin Smit · 2025

In this paper, we argue that anthropomorphized technology, designed to simulate emotional realism, are not neutral tools but cognitive infrastructures that manipulate user trust and behaviour. This re…

Constructive characterisations of the must-preorder for asynchrony

Giovanni Bernardi, Ilaria Castellani, Paul Laforgue, Leo Stefanesco · 2025

De Nicola and Hennessy's must-preorder is a contextual refinement which states that a server q refines a server p if all clients satisfied by p are also satisfied by q. Owing to the universal quantifi…

On the logic of interventionist counterfactuals under indeterministic causal laws

Fausto Barbero · 2023

We investigate the generalization of causal models to the case of indeterministic causal laws that was suggested in Halpern (2000). We give an overview of what differences in modeling are enforced by …
