Logic with Platonism

Synthese, 1968
In his ‘Logic without Ontology’1, Professor Ernest Nagel denies that logic attempts to characterize either the way men really think about the world or the real world they think about. In fact, he says, logic is normative only: it seeks to prescribe standards, not to describe the real, and therefor it lacks all ontological implications.

Platonic Stars

The Mathematical Intelligencer, 2010
The idea of constructing algebraic surfaces with many singularities by using finite group action is classical. This idea was applied with success in particular in the study of algebraic surfaces with maximal number of singularities \(A_1\), \(A_2\), etc. The authors use this idea to construct symmetric surfaces that they call ``Platonic star''.

Platonic tectonics

ACM SIGGRAPH ASIA 2009 Art Gallery & Emerging Technologies: Adaptation, 2009
Before scientific inquiry revealed how earthquakes happen, there were many traditional explanations. In ancient Japan, it was believed that earthquakes were caused by a giant mischievous catfish flipping around in the center of the earth. In Mongolia, it was a frog, which carried the earth around and twitched now and then.
