  1. The MOSAIC study addresses that the @who.int #HealthyAgeing concept "psychological capacity" lacks clear conceptualisation:

    #IntrinsicCapacity #HRQL

    The project has now published the definition and conceptual framework resulting from discussions in the International Working Group, which is now being further refined in a #Delphi study

  4. New paper: "Valuation Without ℝ: A Category-Theoretic Foundation for Finite Measurement"

    Can measurement be formalized independently of real numbers AND set theory?

    We axiomatize "valuation" as a graded distinguishability map satisfying the ultrametric inequality. Dimension emerges as the growth exponent of the distinguishability graph.

  7. The Clock and The Calendar Didn’t Have to Look Like This

    Two of our basic time units are non-negotiable. A day is one rotation of the Earth. A year is one trip around the Sun. Nature hands us these whether we like it or not, no civilisation ever had to invent the day. Everything else - the week, the month, and even the hour, minute, and second - is a human invention layered on top. Nothing in physics requires 24 hours, 60 minutes, or a 7-day cycle. We made all of it up. And the fact that nearly every civilisation independently arrived at something […]

  8. 7 years ago, I wrote a blog entry about more imperial units, where I suggest new imperial units that convert somehow to metric.

    Of course, XKCD managed to present a much more compact formula that binds imperial miles to nautical miles…

  9. 7/x Leah took the last straw the audience was holding on to:

    No, even when thinking about clocks and time, ongoing coordination is an issue. There is no #GoldStandard for time, its #measurement is under constant development.

    #PhilosophyOfScience #ISOQOL

  10. 2/x We had a good panel of presenters.

    Melanie Hawkins (Swinburn UT) opened the session with a discussion of how values and assumptions impact on interpretations of scores in application contexts, and how this may reinforce and exacerbate societal inequities.

  11. 1/x It was great fun to co-organise the #ISOQOL discussion of Leah McClimans' book

    " #PatientCentered #Measurement: Perspectives from philosophy and health-related quality of life"

  12. Really glad how our symposium around Leah McClimans' book " #PatientCentered #Measurement: Perspectives from philosophy and health-related quality of life" went.

    I really enjoyed working with Leah on this as well as reading her thought-provoking book:

  13. Tuesday programme at #ISOQOL

    Looking forward to presenting our #Symposium4 on #PatientCentered #measurement with perspectives from philosophy and #HRQL researchers.

    Co-organised by Leah McClimans and myself, we have invited a set of stellar colleagues to discuss key themes from her new book!

  14. Your hands are heavier than you think they are. No, even heavier than that. No, more. Heavier. Heavier. Keep trying. No, much heavier. C’mon. Heavier still. Uh, look, we’ll just leave you to it.
