In Aquatic ecosystem aquatic biology , the paradox of the plankton is the name given to the situation where a limited range of resources light , nutrient s supports a much wider range of plankton ic organism s. The paradox stems from a result of the competitive exclusion principle sometimes referred to as Georgii Gause Gause s Law , which suggests that when two species Competition biology compete for the same resource, ultimately only one will persist and the other will be driven to extinct ion. The high biodiversity diversity of phytoplankton at all Phylogenetics phylogenetic levels stands in contrast to the limited range of resources for which they compete with one another e.g. light, nitrate , phosphate , silicic acid , iron . The paradox was originally described by the limnology limnologist G. Evelyn Hutchinson , who proposed that the paradox may be resolved by factors such as water column vertical gradients of light or turbulence , symbiosis or commensalism , differential predation , or constantly changing environmental conditions. ref Hutchinson, G.

The preface paradox , or the paradox of the preface , ref Makinson, D. C., Paradox of the Preface , Analysis 25 1965 205 207. http david.c.makinson.googlepages.com MakinsonPrefaceParadox1.pdf ref was introduced by David Makinson in 1965. Similar to the lottery paradox , it presents an argument according to which it can be rational to accept mutually incompatible beliefs. While the preface paradox nullifies a claim contrary to one s belief, it is opposite to Moore s paradox which asserts a claim contrary to one s belief. Overview The argument runs along these lines It is customary for authors of academic books to include in the preface of their books statements such as any errors that remain are my sole responsibility. Occasionally they go further and actually claim there are errors in the books, with statements such as the errors that are found herein are mine alone. 1 Such an author has written a book that contains many assertions, and has factually checked each one carefully, submitted it to reviewers for comment, etc. Thus, he has reason to believe that each assertion he has made is true. 2 However, he knows, having learned from experience, that, in spite of his best efforts, there are very likely undetected errors in his book. So he also has good reason to believe that there is at least one assertion in his book that is not true. Thus, he has good reason, from 1 , to rationally believe that each statement in his book is true, while at the same time he has good reason, from 2 , to rationally believe that the book contains at least one error. Thus he can rationally believe that the book both does and does not contain at least one error. References reflist See also Lottery paradox Category Paradoxes Category Epistemology ... more details

It is related to the liar paradox as a problem, and it purports to show that a sentence can be paradoxical even if it is not self referring and does not use demonstrative s or indexicality indexicals i.e. it does not explicitly refer to itself . The paradox can be expressed as follows Yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation. If the paradox is not clear, consider each part of the above description of the paradox incrementally it yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation its quotation yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation it preceded by its quotation yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation.

In set theory , Cantor s paradox is derivable from the theorem that there is no greatest cardinal number , so that the collection of infinite sizes is itself infinite. The difficulty is handled in axiomatic set theory by declaring that this collection is not a set but a proper class in von Neumann Bernays G del set theory it follows from this and the axiom of limitation of size that this proper class must be in bijection with the class of all sets. Thus, not only are there infinitely many infinities, but this infinity is larger than any of the infinities it enumerates. This paradox is named for Georg Cantor , who is often credited with first identifying it in 1899 or between 1895 and 1897 . Like a number of paradoxes it is not actually contradictory but merely indicative of a mistaken intuition, in this case about the nature of infinity and the notion of a set. Put another way, it is paradoxical within the confines of na ve set theory and therefore demonstrates that a careless axiomatization of this theory is inconsistent. Statements and proofs In order to state the paradox it is necessary ... about one being greater or less than another. Then Cantor s paradox is Theorem There is no greatest ... ordinal number conversely, the latter statement implies Cantor s paradox.

refimprove date March 2010 The Scitovsky paradox is a theory which states that in welfare economics there is no increase in social welfare by a return to the original part of the losers. It is named after the Hungary Hungarian born United States American economist , Tibor Scitovsky . What he demonstrated was that if an allocation A is deemed superior to another allocation B by the Kaldor compensation criteria , by a subsequent set of moves by the same criteria, we can prove that B is also superior to A. The paradox occurs when the gainer from the change of allocation A to allocation B can compensate the loser for making the change, but the loser could also then compensate the gainer for going back to the original position.

In economics , the Edgeworth paradox describes a situation in which two players cannot reach a state of Economic equilibrium equilibrium with pure strategies, i.e. each charging a stable price. Suppose two companies, A and B, sell an identical commodity product, and that customers choose the product solely on the basis of price. Each company faces capacity constraints, in that on its own it cannot satisfy demand at its zero profit price, but together they can more than satisfy such demand. Unlike the Bertrand paradox economics Bertrand paradox , the situation of both companies charging zero profit prices is not an equilibrium, since either company can raise its price and generate profits. Nor is the situation where one company charges less than the other an equilibrium, since the lower price company can profitably raise its price towards the higher price company s price. Nor is the situation where both companies charge the same positive profit price, since either company can then lower its price marginally and profitably capture more of the market. ref citebook title Public Finance author Carl Sumner Shoup year 2005 publisher Aldine Transaction isbn 0202307859 url http books.google.com books?id N JHg2A2uw0C&pg PA155&dq 22Edgeworth paradox 22&as brr 3&ie ISO 8859 1&output html&sig 9U9IWc j6ZPgDduneRtEVtuE Nw ref See also Francis Ysidro Edgeworth Edgeworth box References refs econ stub Category Economics paradoxes Category Game theory ... more details
Bonini s Paradox , named after Stanford business professor Charles Bonini, explains the difficulty in constructing model abstract models or simulation s that fully capture the workings of complex system s such as the human brain . ref Charles P. Bonini 1963 Simulation of information and decision systems in the firm , Englewood Cliffs, N. J. Prentice Hall ref Statements In modern discourse, the paradox was articulated by John M. Dutton and William H. Starbuck ref W. H. Starbuck 1976 Organizations and their environments In M. D. Dunnette ed. , Handbook of industrial and organizational psychology Chicago Rand, S. 1069 1123 ref As a model of a complex system becomes more complete, it becomes less understandable. Alternatively, as a model grows more realistic, it also becomes just as difficult to understand as the real world processes it represents Computer Simulation of Human Behaviour, 1971 . This paradox may be used by researchers to explain why complete models of the human brain and thinking processes have not been created and will undoubtedly remain difficult for years to come. This same paradox was observed earlier from a quote by Paul Val ry , Everything simple is false. Everything which is complex is unusable. Notre destin et les lettres, 1937 Also, the same topic has been discussed by Richard Levins in his classic essay The Strategy of Model Building in Population Biology , in stating that complex models have too many parameters to measure, leading to analytically insoluble equations that would exceed the capacity of our computers, but the results would have no meaning for us even if they could be solved.
