He suggests that the emphasis on pure research (at least in economics) in the universities of the North has been overdone. He feels that research economists have focused on being published in the top ‘refereed’ journals, and have ...

On Universals

Journal of Symbolic Logic, 1947
The philosophical dispute over whether there are universale, or abstract entities, is not a dispute over the admissibility of general terms. Both sides will agree that general terms, e.g. ‘man,’ and perhaps even abstract singular terms such as ‘mankind’ and ‘7’, are meaningful, in the sense at least of participating in statements which as wholes are ...

Universalities

Applied Categorical Structures, 1994
Let \({\mathcal V}\) be a cocomplete monoidal category such that \(A \otimes - \) and \(- \otimes A\) preserve colimits for any \({\mathcal V}\)-object \(A\). Then there exist a \({\mathcal V}\)-category \({\mathcal U}\) and a \({\mathcal V}\)-functor \(F : {\mathcal U} \to {\mathcal U}\) such that for every \({\mathcal V}\)-functor \(H : {\mathcal H}_

Universal prediction and universal coding

Systems and Computers in Japan, 2003
AbstractAlthough prediction schemes called “universal” are now abundant, very little attention has been devoted to the definition of universal prediction. This paper addresses, for α‐nary (α ≥ 2) sequences, the criteria of successful universal prediction and the prediction schemes that achieve the goals.
