Epistemic "Holes" in Space-Time.

A number of models of general relativity seem to contain "holes" that are thought to be "physically unreasonable." One seeks a condition to rule out these models. We examine a number of possibilities already in use. We then introduce a new condition: epistemic hole-freeness. Epistemic hole-freeness...

      ab: A number of models of general relativity seem to contain "holes" that are thought to be "physically unreasonable." One seeks a condition to rule out these models. We examine a number of possibilities already in use. We then introduce a new condition: epistemic hole-freeness. Epistemic hole-freeness is not just a new condition--it is new in kind. In particular, it does not presuppose a distinction between space-times that are "physically reasonable" and those that are not.
