If-conditionals, modality, and Schrödinger’s cat. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This talk addresses the modal nature of if-conditionals. If-conditionals are seen as bipartite constructions (Fillmore 1986: 196, 1998: 36) which (a) attract modality statistically significantly above average, and (b) show a markedly higher degree of ...

The annotation is rigorously evaluated by means of a newly developed strategy based on the alignment of the entire ...

Modal descent [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Structures in Computer Science, 2020
AbstractAny modality in homotopy type theory gives rise to an orthogonal factorization system of which the left class is stable under pullbacks. We show that there is a second orthogonal factorization system associated with any modality, of which the left class is the class of ○-equivalences and the right class is the class of ○-étale maps.
