Empirical learning

Michelspacher s title-page is not, in fact, a monument to empirical learning, but takes the form of a memento mori. Far from applauding the new Renaissance humanism, on the contrary, he employs the science of anatomy as a metaphor to demonstrate the futility of rational knowledge in the face of death and decay.The prospect of immortality is available only to those who seek an intuitive Gnosis, a divine epiphany concerning God s work in Nature.

In the case of polyionic systems the picture becomes still more complicated. There are no examples of prediction of xs values. However, we have empirically learned that zs of the entire system is shorter than in the absence of magnetic coupling. High resolution NMR experiments are, in general, successful with magnetically coupled polyionic systems.

Figure 6.1 shows that quite complicated features are found in empirical learning curves (in 2004 euros by use of deflators from UK Treasury, 2004).
