Inverse Element for Surreal Number

open access: yesFormalized Mathematics
Summary Conway’s surreal numbers have a fascinating algebraic structure, which we try to formalise in the Mizar system. In this article, building on our previous work establishing that the surreal numbers fulfil the ring properties, we construct the inverse element for any non-zero number.

Non‐Rigid 3D Shape Correspondences: From Foundations to Open Challenges and Opportunities

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating correspondences between deformed shape instances is a long‐standing problem in computer graphics; numerous applications, from texture transfer to statistical modelling, rely on recovering an accurate correspondence map. Many methods have thus been proposed to tackle this challenging problem from varying perspectives, depending on ...

An algebraic (set) theory of surreal numbers, I

open access: yesFLAP, 2019
The notion of surreal number was introduced by J.H. Conway in the mid 1970's: the surreal numbers constitute a linearly ordered (proper) class $No$ containing the class of all ordinal numbers ($On$) that, working within the background set theory NBG, can be defined by a recursion on the class $On$.

Establishing Shape Correspondences: A Survey

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Shape correspondence between surfaces in 3D is a central problem in geometry processing, concerned with establishing meaningful relations between surfaces. While all correspondence problems share this goal, specific formulations can differ significantly: Downstream applications require certain properties that correspondences must satisfy ...

Un/Learning Adult Frames of Reference in Death Enquiries: Thinking~With a Picturebook, Philosophical Animism and Ontological Tact

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Developmental psychology continues to shape how adults engage with children about death and dying. This influences whether children are included in rituals surrounding human and other‐than‐human bodies. Figurations of the innocent, immature and vulnerable child still dominate adult imaginaries of young children's understandings of mortality ...

Magical Realist Hauntings in Children's Everyday Encounters With Death, or, How to Believe in Impossible Things

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern deaths have become reiterations. That is, despite exhibiting a seemingly high‐level of diversity in death's representations in everyday lives, death suffers from a particular onto‐epistemological poverty that prevents it from being imagined otherwise.

The Innocence of Imagination?

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract According to a widely held view both within and outside philosophy, imagination is innocent in the sense that it does not influence what we think and do. Hence, we can let our imagination wander anywhere. There are two ways of pushing back against this ‘innocence of imagination’ claim.

Collaborative occasions of imagination: A philosophical pedagogical approach to arts education in the classroom

open access: yesInternational Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The aim of this paper is to outline the activities of an innovative, interdisciplinary public engagement programme delivered by a team from education, art and philosophy disciplines at a Scottish university. The programme began in 2018 and has continually evolved since then in response to its work with schools. The activities are inspired by a

“Why?”: C. Wright Mills on the Spirit of the Classical Sociological Tradition and Positivist Versus Critical Sociology

open access: yesSociology Lens, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite their very diverse interests, the classical sociological thinkers were concerned with analyzing the dramatic social transformations in the wake of colonialism, slavery, and modern industrial capitalism as well as the multiple revolutions, particularly in relation to the new forms of social inequalities and power disparities.
