This concluding chapter poses the question of whether or not we have too much past and too little future. After all, the notion of the past has dramatically increased in its range of meanings, as has the future. The relation between the past, the present, and the future is a three-fold relationship in which one dimension cannot exist for long without the others. Ordering this three-fold temporal structure anew and bringing the three dimensions into a balanced relation, however, continues to be an open adventure. To be sure, it is also the greatest challenge posed by the demise of the modern time regime.

1. Introduction and summary. A chain of N links is allowed to assume a random configuration in space. The extent of the chain in any direction is defined as the shortest distance between a pair of planes perpendicular to that direction, such that the chain is contained entirely between them. In the present paper the probability distribution of the extent is discussed, starting with a chain in one dimension for which formulae are derived for the probability and mean extent for all values of N. The limiting forms for large N are then considered. The results are extended to the case of a chain in three dimensions, and it is shown that the extents in two directions at right angles tend to be independently distributed when N is large. It is assumed that the links are infinitely thin, so that a point in space may be occupied by the chain any number of times.

This study was designed to reassess and reconceptualize the multidimensional nature of organizational commitment. The Organizational Commitment Questionnaire of Porter, Steers, Mowday, and Boulian was administered to 259 employees representing five retail banks. Factor analysis (principal factor, promax rotation) yielded the three dimensions proposed by Porter, et al. in 1974. This conceptualization was inadequate because one dimension, i.e., desire to maintain organizational membership, overlaps the withdrawal construct. A similar criticism has been levelled against Meyer and Allen's 1991 model. Consistent with the three-dimensional attitude theory, organizational commitment was reconceptualized in terms of cognitive, emotive, and conative meanings. The proposed dimensions include normative commitment (amount of cognitive consonance with organizational norms), affective commitment (intensity of emotional attachment to the organization), and volitive commitment (extent of conative orientation towards organizational goals).

Abstract Recent developments involving JT gravity in two dimensions indicate that under some conditions, a gravitational path integral is dual to an average over an ensemble of boundary theories, rather than to a specific boundary theory. For an example in one dimension more, one would like to compare a random ensemble of two-dimensional CFT’s to Einstein gravity in three dimensions. But this is difficult. For a simpler problem, here we average over Narain’s family of two-dimensional CFT’s obtained by toroidal compactification. These theories are believed to be the most general ones with their central charges and abelian current algebra symmetries, so averaging over them means picking a random CFT with those properties. The average can be computed using the Siegel-Weil formula of number theory and has some properties suggestive of a bulk dual theory that would be an exotic theory of gravity in three dimensions. The bulk dual theory would be more like U(1)2D Chern-Simons theory than like Einstein gravity.


In classical mechanics (c.m.), and near the semi-classical limit h →0 of quantum mechanics (s.c.l.), the enhancement factors α ≡ ρ 0 /ρ ∞ are found for scattering by attractive central potentials U(r) ; here ρ 0,∞ (and v 0,∞ ) are the particle densities (and speeds) at the origin and far upstream in the incident beam. For finite potentials ( U (0) > — ∞), and when there are no turning points, the preceding paper found both in c.m., and near the s.c.l. (which then covers high v ∞ ), α 1 = v ∞ / v 0 , α 2 = 1, α 3 = v 0 / v ∞ respectively in one dimension (1D), 2D and 3D. The argument is now extended to potentials (still without turning points), where U ( r →0) ~ ─ C/r q , with 0 < q < 1 in ID (where r ≡ | x | ), and 0 < q < 2 in 2D and 3D, since only for such q can classical trajectories and quantum wavefunctions be defined unambiguously. In c.m., α 1 (c.m.) = 0, α 3 (c.m.) = ∞, and α 2 (c.m.) = (1 —½ q ) N , where N = [integer part of (1 ─½ q ) -1 ]is the number of trajectories through any point ( r , θ) in the limit r → 0. All features of U(r) other than q are irrelevant. Near the s.c.l. (which now covers low v ∞ ) a somewhat delicate analysis is needed, matching exact zero-energy solutions at small r to the ordinary W.K.B. approximation at large r ; for small v ∞ / u it yields the leading terms α 1 (s.c.l.) = Λ 1 (q) v ∞ / u , α 2 (s.c.I) = (1 ─½ q ) -1 , α 3 (s.c.l.)= Λ 3 ( q ) u/v ∞ , where u ≡ (C/h q m 1-q ) 1/(2-q) is a generalized Bohr velocity. Here Λ 1,3 are functions of q alone, given in the text; as q →0 the α (s.c.l.) agree with the α quoted above for finite potentials. Even in the limit h = 0, α 2 (s.c.l.) and α 2 (c.m.) differ. This paradox in 2D is interpreted loosely in terms of quantal interference between the amplitudes corresponding to the N classical trajectories. The Coulomb potential ─ C/r is used as an analytically soluble example in 2D as well as in 3D. Finally, if U(r) away from the origin depends on some intrinsic range parameter α(e.g. U = ─ C exp (─r/a)/r q ) , and if, near the s.c.l., v ∞ / u is regarded as a function not of h but more realistically of v ∞ , then the expressions α (s.c.l.) above apply only in an intermediate range 1/ a ≪ mv ∞ / h ≪ ( mC/h 2 ) 1/(2- q ) which exists only if a ≫ ( h 2 / mC ) 1/(2- q ) ).

The Subjective Workload Asssessment Technique (SWAT) carries with it the implicit assumption that people can accurately predict the amount of mental workload they would experience under various levels of three component dimensions. Research suggests that the perceptions of these dimensions may not be independent. This study was designed to measure the subjective interactions between the dimensions used in SKAT. Mental workload was generated using a text editing task in which the dimensions were manipulated independently. Results revealed significant positive correlations between the subjective levels of the three dimensions. That is, when a subject experienced a high level of one dimension, s/he also tended to rate the other two dimensions high. It may be unreasonable to assume that people can accurately predict the magnitude of these interactions when performing the ranking process which is used to derive the workload scale.
