I don't think this was posted on the previous discussion board, but I know some of you have been waiting to see the more fleshed out "indeterminacy logic" that Greg, Tom, myself, JET, and a few others contributed to. Here's a PDF of the Hexagon paper that Greg recently submitted to Philosophia Christi.

 

 

To be sure, there is still more work to be done here. Basically, indeterminacy logic is just a relational modal logic in which the primary operators are necessity (Z) and contingency (Q), rather than necessity and possibility. The relational aspects of it need to be made more explicit in the logic, though, because what is contingent given one state of affairs may not be contingent given another. But that's a task for the future.

 

Feedback appreciated.

It varies from journal to journal. The best managed ones usually will let you know within about three months. But I've heard of some that are notorious for taking much longer--as much as a year. I don't know what Philosophia Christi's reputation is with respect to turnaround, but I would guess about three or four months.
