cleanup rewrite date September 2011 The ExtendedMind is a book in the field of philosophy of mind edited by Richard Menary. It contains several papers by different philosophers. The extendedmind refers to an emerging concept that addresses the question as to the division point between the mind and the environment by promoting the view of active externalism. This view proposes that some objects in the external environment are utilized by the mind in such a way that the objects can be seen as extensions of the mind itself. Specifically, the mind is seen to encompass every level of the cognitive process, which will often include the use of environmental aids. The seminal work in the field is The ExtendedMind by Andy Clark and David Chalmers . In this paper, Clark and Chalmers present the idea of active externalism similar to semantic or content Internalism and Externalism Semantics externalism , in which objects within the environment function as a part of the mind. They argue that it is arbitrary to say that the mind is contained only within the boundaries of the skull. The separation between the mind, the body, and the environment is seen as an unprincipled distinction. Because external objects play a significant role in aiding cognitive processes, the mind and the environment act as a coupled system . This coupled system can be seen as a complete cognitive system of its own. In this manner, the mind is extended into the external world. The main criterion that Clark and Chalmers list for classifying the use of external objects during cognitive tasks as a part of an extended ... processes.

All insurance policies have exclusions specific causes of loss also called perils that are not covered by the insurance company . An Extended coverage endorsement EC was a common extension of property insurance beyond coverage for fire and lightning. Extended coverage added insurance against loss by the perils of windstorm, hail, explosion, civil commotion, riot and riot attending a strike, aircraft damage, vehicle damage, and smoke damage. The endorsement has been largely supplanted by what is referred to as basic causes of loss form first introduced by Insurance Services Office in 1986 as part of its simplified language revisions. The basic form includes most of the perils previously provided by fire and extended coverage and it adds vandalism and malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage damage, sinkhole collapse, and volcanic action.

It is often developed at great length, occurring frequently in schools coursework or throughout a work, and are especially effective in poems and fiction. Symbolism is often a great tool to use in extended metaphors. This is often seen in William Shakespeare s work. If one starts with the metaphor of The seeds have already been sown , an extension could be It remains to be seen whether weeds or flowers will spring forth. Also, many fables and fairy tales are often extended metaphors. Such as short stories like Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy by Tim O Brien and Tandem by Dan Libman, which uses the metaphor of a tandem bike ride to illustrate a difficult marriage. Extended metaphor poems are categorized into three groups of metaphors , is metaphors , and adjacent noun metaphors . An of metaphor is a metaphor consisting of the pattern She is the love of my life . An is metaphor is more profound version of of metaphors . These shorten the previous example to She is love. An adjacent noun poem is a less common category. It uses three unrelated nouns to create a vivid image. Adjacent noun poems are usually lighthearted and entertaining. Extended metaphors are also often used in poetry, such as Robert Frost s The Road Not Taken. Extended metaphors appear also in symbolic constitutions and many Native American literature pieces.

It extends the syntax of ML to include Axiomatic semantics axioms , which need not be executable but can rigorously specify the behavior of the program. With this addition the language can be used for stepwise refinement, proceeding gradually from an initial formal specification to eventually yield an executable Standard ML program. Correctness of the final executable SML program with respect to the original specification can then be established by proving the correctness of each of the refinement steps.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Floating point The term extended precision refers to storage formats for floating point numbers not falling into the regular sequence of single, double, and quadruple precision formats usually 32 bit, 64 bit and 128 bit, respectively . In contrast to extended precision , arbitrary precision arithmetic refers to implementations of much larger numeric types with a storage count that usually is not a power of two using special software or, rarely, hardware . The most common extended precision format is currently the 80 bit format first used in the Intel 8087 math coprocessor and later in the Motorola 68881 , which has since become ubiquitous on the x86 architecture . This 80 bit format uses 64 bits for the significand, 15 bits for the exponent field and one bit for the sign of the significand. The exponent field uses excess N representation, to be more exact excess 16383, meaning that 16383 has to be subtracted from the written exponent. ref http www.datasheetcatalog.org datasheet Intel mXryvuw.pdf Intel 80C187 datasheet ref An exponent field value of 32767 ....

An extended enterprise is a loosely coupled, self organizing network of firms that combine their economic output to provide products and services offerings to the market. Firms in the extended enterprise may operate independently, for example, through market mechanisms, or cooperatively through agreements and contracts. Alternatively referred to as a supply chain or a value chain , the extended enterprise describes the community of participants involved with provisioning a set of service offerings. The extended enterprise associated with McDonald s , for example, includes not only McDonald s Corporation , but also franchisee s and joint venture partners of McDonald s Corporation, the 3PL s that provide food and materials to McDonald s restaurants, the advertising agencies that produce and distribute McDonald s advertising, the Distributor business supplier s of McDonald s food ingredients, kitchen equipment, building services , utilities, and other goods and services, the designers of Happy Meal toys, and others. Extended enterprise is a more descriptive term than supply chain, in that it permits the notion of different types and degrees and permanence of connectivity .

Unreferenced date December 2009 In biological psychology , extended consciousness is an animal animal s autobiographical self perception. Extended consciousness is said to arise in the brain of animals with substantial capacity for memory and reason . It does not necessarily require language . The perception of a historic and future self arises from a stream of information from the immediate environment and from neural structures related to memory. A neurology department chairman from University of Iowa medical school College of Medicine popularized the concept. Antonio Damasio theorized extended consciousness to arise in the structures in the human brain he described as image spaces and dispositional spaces . Image spaces imply areas where senses sensory impressions of all types are processed, including the focused awareness of the core consciousness . Dispositional spaces include convergence zones, which are networks in the brain where memories are processed and recalled, and where knowledge is merged with immediate experience. Image processing in the cerebrum is regionally specific to various senses, but is highly distributed and interconnected, with images such as visual, spatial and perhaps linguistic impressions stored in diverse areas then assembled when recalled as a thought. Likewise, neural convergence zones are widely distributed in the lobes of the cerebral cortex . While humans are theorized to share extended consciousness with some animals, theorized neural mechanisms for extended consciousness do not provide answers to philosophy philosophical or Cosmology metaphysics cosmological questions about consciousness such as why we perceive ourselves as a limited part of a larger universe .

Extended sympathy in welfare economics refers to interpersonal value judgments of the form that social state x for person A is ranked better than, worse than, or as good as social state y for person B Arrow, 1963, pp. 114 15 . For example better your marginal income should be lower by the same amount that person B s income rises. Here any characteristics that define each person skills, aptitudes, etc. are distinguished from the rest of the social state and put on a par with conventional measures of wealth insofar as they affect an extended sympathy judgment. In his seminal work on social choice theory , Kenneth Arrow 1963 mentions the ancient lineage of extended sympathy in ethical writings and its basic, if informal, character in many welfare judgments. Arrow s book itself p. 9 uses individual preference orderings rather than real valued measures of preferences. This excludes interpersonal comparisons of welfare in a precise sense invariance of social choices to linear cardinal utility cardinalizations of individual preference orderings . Extended sympathy interpersonal comparisons of welfare relax that constraint Arrow, 1983, pp. 151 2 . Such comparisons expand the informational base of welfare theoretical decisions, as Amartya Sen 1982 has emphasized. Still, variants of Arrow s dictatorial Social Choice and Individual Values Conditions and theorem result persist in reformulation Suzumura, 1997, p. 221 . References Kenneth J.
