A Progress of Sentiments: Reflections on Hume's Treatise
Annette Baier's target is to make feel of David Hume's Treatise as a complete. Hume's relatives motto, which seems on his bookplate, used to be "True to the tip. " Baier argues that it isn't until eventually the tip of the Treatise that we get his complete tale approximately "truth and falsehood, cause and folly. " by way of the tip, we will see the reason to which Hume has been real during the paintings.

Reducing the process of cultural transmission to a Markov chain makes it easy to ask questions about the outcome of such a process. Provided the Markov chain satisfies a set of easily checked conditions, it will converge asymptotically to a stationary distribution (Norris 1997). In the case of the Markov chain on hypotheses identified above, this means that the probability that the nth learner entertains a particular hypothesis will converge to a fixed value as n becomes Phil.
