Theory of Computing Systems, 2013 The author develops an algebraic theory for languages of data words, i.e. words over an alphabet \(\Sigma\times \mathbb{D}\) where \(\Sigma\) is a finite set of labels and \(\mathbb{D}\) is an infinite set of data values. Some of the key notions of the paper are defined relative to a given data symmetry \((\mathbb{D},G)\) in which \(G\) is a subgroup ...

A Burgessian critique of nominalistic tendencies in contemporary mathematics and its historiography [PDF]
, 2012 We analyze the developments in mathematical rigor from the viewpoint of a Burgessian critique of nominalistic reconstructions. We apply such a critique to the reconstruction of infinitesimal analysis accomplished through the efforts of Cantor, Dedekind ...

Deflating Deflationary Truthmaking [PDF]
, 2020 In this paper we confront a challenge to truthmaker theory that is analogous to the objections raised by deflationists against substantive theories of truth. Several critics of truthmaker theory espouse a ‘deflationary’ attitude about truthmaking, though

Information and Computation, 2011 Recursive relational specifications are commonly used to describe the computational structure of formal systems. Recent research in proof theory has identified two features that facilitate direct, logic-based reasoning about such descriptions: the interpretation of atomic judgments through recursive definitions and an encoding of binding constructs via
