On phase semantics and denotational semantics: the exponentials
An indexed version of propositional linear logic with exponentials is defined together with a sequent calculus for this system. To a formula \(A\) of indexed linear logic are associated: an underlying formula \(\underline{A}\) of linear logic, an interpretation \(|\underline{A}|\) of this formula in the category of sets and relations, and a family ...

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

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

Where Mathematical Symbols Come From
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.

Language machines: Toward a linguistic anthropology of large language models
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) challenge long‐standing assumptions in linguistics and linguistic anthropology by generating human‐like language without relying on rule‐based structures. This introduction to the special issue Language Machines calls for renewed engagement with LLMs as socially embedded language technologies.

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

ABSTRACT Workload pressure, examination stress, family responsibilities, and a variety of other factors all contribute to an increase in stress in the body. Stress weakens the human mind and body by accelerating several health disorders. Therefore, the number of approaches for early projection of stress plays a vital role in the healthcare sector ...

Labelled transition systems as a Stone space [PDF]
A fully abstract and universal domain model for modal transition systems and refinement is shown to be a maximal-points space model for the bisimulation quotient of labelled transition systems over a finite set of events.

An algebraic basis for specifying and enforcing access control in security systems [PDF]
Security services in a multi-user environment are often based on access control mechanisms. Static aspects of an access control policy can be formalised using abstract algebraic models.
