Meta‐Virtuality: Strategies of Disembeddedness in Virtual Interiorities
ABSTRACT To reclaim their seat in the rapidly growing market of virtual space, designers of the built environment can benefit from reevaluating theories that see the virtual as a mere extension/reflection of the physical. By claiming ontological autonomy from external worlds, the virtual is liberated from the hegemonic control of the physical.

Surreal numbers, derivations and transseries [PDF]
Several authors have conjectured that Conway’s field of surreal numbers, equipped with the exponential function of Kruskal and Gonshor, can be described as a field of transseries and admits a compatible differential structure of Hardy type. In this paper we give a complete positive solution to both problems. We also show that with this new differential

Fields of surreal numbers and exponentiation [PDF]
The authors consider sets of the form: all surreal numbers whose length is less than a given ordinal. They show that the ordinal determines certain algebraic properties of the corresponding set. In particular, the set is a field iff the ordinal is an epsilon-number. Furthermore, such a field will be closed under exponentiation. The key lemmas establish

This paper considers effectivizations of the two standard developments of the surreal number system, viz. via cuts and via sign sequences. Properties of both versions of «computable surreals» are investigated, and it is shown that the two effectivizations in fact yield different sets of ...

The class $\mathbf{No}$ of surreal numbers, which John Conway discovered while studying combinatorial games, possesses a rich numerical structure and shares many arithmetic and algebraic properties with the real numbers. Some work has also been done to develop analysis on $\mathbf{No}$.

Abstract This study examines the under‐theorized political role and identity of Chinese international students, who emerge as significant actors caught between U.S. soft power ambitions and rising geopolitical suspicion. Amid escalating U.S.‐China tensions, these students are forced to confront environments shaped by competing geopolitical discourses ...

Abstract When I was 12, my family told me a story about their community falling apart and coming together, a time when someone tried putting a nuclear facility in their (our?) hometown. Since we moved when I was too young to remember, the story had little significance until I embarked on a “hometown” ethnographic journey for my dissertation.

What happens when stories refuse coherence? This article examines ambiguous loss among mothers of combat soldiers, focusing on how prolonged waiting and uncertainty infiltrate everyday life, eroding sensemaking. Drawing on ethnographic interviews, it explores how mothers experience the contraction of time and space—manifested in suspended routines ...
