Benj Hellie’s paper “Noise and Perceptual Indiscriminability”:http://people.cornell.edu/pages/beh24/npi.pdf has been accepted (I think conditional on some small things) for publication in _Mind_. Well done Benj! Since I, like a few other prominent philosophers, am 0-for-some-large-n at _Mind_, I’m a little jealous. Here’s the abstract of the successful paper.

bq. Perception represents colors inexactly. This inexactness results from noise, and results in apparent violations of the transitivity of perceptual discriminability. Whether these violations are genuine depends on what is meant by “transitivity of perceptual discriminability”.

While talking about Cornell’s successes at _Mind_ I should mention that Mike Fara’s “paper on counterpart theory”:http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/research/fara/counterparts.pdf (co-written with Tim Williamson) was the lead article for the year in the January 2005 edition. So well done Mike also!
