Winged horses, rascals and discourse referents

open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper discusses some remarks Kaplan made in ‘Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice’ concerning empty names. I show how his objections to a particular view involving descriptions derived from Ramsification can be avoided by a nearby alternative framed in terms of discourse reference.

Towards a Semantic Measure of the Execution Time in Call-by-Value lambda-Calculus [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2019
We investigate the possibility of a semantic account of the execution time (i.e. the number of beta-steps leading to the normal form, if any) for the shuffling calculus, an extension of Plotkin's call-by-value lambda-calculus.

An Adequate While-Language for Hybrid Computation

open access: yes, 2019
Hybrid computation combines discrete and continuous dynamics in the form of an entangled mixture inherently present both in various natural phenomena, and in applications ranging from control theory to microbiology.

(Co‐)Reference All the Way Down: A Unified Theory of (Pro) Nominals in Ordinary English

open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This essay joins two themes, both arising from Kripke's inspiring ideas in the theory of reference. The first theme concerns reference in general. The second examines the notion of co‐reference and the role it plays in a unified theory of pronouns for natural language.

A Metalanguage for Guarded Iteration

open access: yes, 2018
Notions of guardedness serve to delineate admissible recursive definitions in various settings in a compositional manner. In recent work, we have introduced an axiomatic notion of guardedness in symmetric monoidal categories, which serves as a unifying ...

Where Mathematical Symbols Come From

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract There is a sense in which the symbols used in mathematical expressions and formulas are arbitrary. After all, arithmetic would be no different if we would replace the symbols ‘+$+$’ or ‘8’ by different symbols. Nevertheless, the shape of many mathematical symbols is in fact well motivated in practice.

Abstract Hidden Markov Models: a monadic account of quantitative information flow [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2019
Hidden Markov Models, HMM's, are mathematical models of Markov processes with state that is hidden, but from which information can leak. They are typically represented as 3-way joint-probability distributions.

Meta‐Metamodelling of Engineering Systems by Help of Abstract Mathematics

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 48, Issue 16, Page 14815-14827, 15 November 2025.
ABSTRACT The growing trend of automation in engineering significantly increases the complexity of engineering systems and necessitates a deeper understanding of the coupling of physical and cyber components interacting within the systems. A typical example of such a highly coupled system is an autonomous construction site, where robotic systems aim to ...
