The Observational Stability Condition

Key Points

The aim is to explore the role of propagation asymmetry between light and sound in creating a stable observational world.
Introduced the concept of Observational Stability Condition (OSC) as a structural account.
Established formal notation for OSC.
Connected OSC to existing philosophical theories in perception and physics.
Demonstrated that propagation asymmetry is essential for stability in observational contexts.
Outlined how OSC can inform discussions in the philosophy of perception and related fields.

Abstract

Preprint — Observational Stability Condition (OSC) This paper introduces the Observational Stability Condition (OSC), a structural account of why the propagation asymmetry between light and sound is a necessary condition for the stability of any observational world. A formal notation and connections to prior work in philosophy of perception, ontology, and philosophy of physics are included. This preprint is currently under review for publication.
