Evolving fuzzy CP^n and lattice n-simplex

Generalizing the previous works on evolving fuzzy two-sphere, I discuss evolving fuzzy CP^n by studying scalar field theory on it. The space-time geometry is obtained in continuum limit, and is shown to saturate locally the cosmic holographic principle. I also discuss evolving lattice n-simplex obtained by `compactifying' fuzzy CP^n. It is argued that an evolving lattice n-simplex does not approach a continuum space-time but decompactifies into an evolving fuzzy CP^n.Comment: Typos corrected, 13 pages, no figures, LaTe

Field theory on evolving fuzzy two-sphere

I construct field theory on an evolving fuzzy two-sphere, which is based on the idea of evolving non-commutative worlds of the previous paper. The equations of motion are similar to the one that can be obtained by dropping the time-derivative term of the equation derived some time ago by Banks, Peskin and Susskind for pure-into-mixed-state evolutions. The equations do not contain an explicit time, and therefore follow the spirit of the Wheeler-de Witt equation. The basic properties of field theory such as action, gauge invariance and charge and momentum conservation are studied. The continuum limit of the scalar field theory shows that the background geometry of the corresponding continuum theory is given by ds^2 = -dt^2+ t d Omega^2, which saturates locally the cosmic holographic principle.Comment: Typos corrected, minor changes, 23 pages, no figures, LaTe

Effective forewarning requires central route processing: Theoretical improvements on the counterargumentation hypothesis and practical implications for scam prevention.

Financial scams have caused tremendous financial damage globally. In Japan, the police forewarn people by equipping them with scam-prevention techniques or providing awareness regarding examples of previous scams; however, this does not appear to effectively prevent the damage, as many scam victims do not remember these warnings when faced with actual scam encounters. Considering that scammers often use appeal to emotion techniques, peripheral processing during scam attempts might disturb people's abilities to recall the warnings on scammers' modus operandi, thus leading to failed counter-arguing efforts. We verified this hypothesis in an experimental setting by asking 162 participants to remember given forewarnings and resist deceptive advertisements. The results showed that participants gave the advertisers' manipulative intent a higher rating only when they processed the advertisement through a central route, in addition to being forewarned. This means that forewarning had no effect when participants processed the advertisement through a peripheral route. Moreover, forewarning recollection levels mediated the effect of processing route on this rating, which suggests that remembering forewarnings is necessary to generate counterarguments. This result expands the theory on forewarning effects and explains why people are susceptible to scam victimization. Furthermore, it provides implications for scam prevention
