Symbolic power, robotting, and surveilling

open access: yesEducational Studies in Mathematics, 2012
Symbolic power is discussed with reference to mathematics and formal languages. Two distinctions are crucial for establishing mechanical and formal perspectives: one between appearance and reality, and one between sense and reference. These distinctions include a nomination of what to consider primary and secondary.

This short essay discusses a particular relationship between language and money. On the face of it (at face value?) the two are rather different; however, closer inspection shows them to have a number of similar properties, such as relying on mutual trust and being subject to a political regime. Accordingly, they also serve similar functions, which are

The Computation of Powers of Symbolic Polynomials

SIAM Journal on Computing, 1975
Recent results on the computation of powers of symbolic polynomials are reviewed in perspective. Then a new algorithm is given which computes the nth power of a completely sparse polynomial using a linear number of multiplications. This is followed by experimental results comparing the new algorithm to iteration using both completely sparse and ...

Symbols to Power

1995
Complex societies are characterized by a great variety of groups: ethnic, economic, and social-hierarchial. In order for complex societies to function, it is necessary to regulate communication and interaction between groups. This is handled mainly by language. Most complex societies also have writing so that the code that controls appropriate behavior

The Power of Symbolic Automata and Transducers

2017
Symbolic automata and transducers extend finite automata and transducers by allowing transitions to carry predicates and functions over rich alphabet theories, such as linear arithmetic. Therefore, these models extend their classic counterparts to operate over infinite alphabets, such as the set of rational numbers.
