Tittel

Alternative Combining Operations in Extensive Measurement

Sammendrag

This paper concerns the ways in which one can/cannot combine extensive quantities. Given a particular theory of extensive measurement, there can be no alternative ways of combining extensive quantities, where ¿alternative¿ means that one combining operation can be used instead of another causing only a change in the number assigned to the quantity. As a consequence, rectangular concatenation cannot be an alternative combining operation for length as suggested by Ellis and agreed by Krantz, Luce, Suppes, and Tversky. I argue as well that a theory which imposes such restrictions on the combining operation is more desirable than less stringent rival theories.
