Resilience and Sorites in the Normative Domain and Beyond

open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The sorites paradox is central to theories on vagueness, which aim to explain apparent contradictions. Some theories, however, imply sharp cut‐offs where we would, intuitively, not expect them. This paper invokes the notion of normative resilience to address this issue.

Leibniz on Compossibility: Towards a Neo‐Logical Interpretation

open access: yesTheoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Leibniz's concept of compossibility explains why not all possible substances are actualised, thereby resisting Spinoza's necessitarianism. Yet, the precise basis of incompossibility remains unresolved. The influential ‘logical’ interpretation—exemplified by the Hintikka–D'Agostino thesis—locates incompossibility in contradictions among ...

Superlative Objoid Constructions in British and American English

open access: yesWorld Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates regional variation in Superlative Objoid constructions (SOCs) and their prepositional variant (at‐SOCs). SOCs combine a possessive pronoun with a superlative adjective. These function as manner‐degree modifiers in a context where the possessive is in postverbal position and correlative with the subject, as in they tried

Lifts of continuous and Hölder alpha curves in the configuration space MN/SN$M^N/S_N$

open access: yesTransactions of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 13, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract In this paper, we study the quotient space X=MN/SN$X = M^N / S_N$ of equivalence classes of N$N$‐tuples in a metric space (M,dM)$(M, d_M)$, equipped with the metric induced by the minimal total pairing distance. Given a continuous path F:(0,1)→X$F: (0,1) \rightarrow X$, we prove that there exist continuous functions f1,⋯,fN:(0,1)→M$f_1, \dots,

On computing local monodromy and the numerical local irreducible decomposition

open access: yesTransactions of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 13, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Similarly to the global case, the local structure of a holomorphic subvariety at a given point is described by its local irreducible decomposition. Geometrically, the key requirement for obtaining a local irreducible decomposition is to compute the local monodromy action of a generic linear projection at the given point, which is always well ...
