the following attempts to discuss the different approaches to privacy adopted by adolf loos and le corbusier, as two of the most influential pioneers of modern architecture. it will be argued that both architects were influenced by the developing technologies of their time, yet they reacted differently to the increasing influence of film and photography on art, architecture and everyday life. t...

Warping Peirce Quincuncial Panoramas

The Peirce quincuncial projection is a mapping of the surface of a sphere to the interior of a square. It is a conformal mapping except for four points on the equator. These points of non-conformality cause significant artifacts in photographic applications. In this paper, we propose an algorithm and userinterface to mitigate these artifacts. Moreover, in order to facilitate an interactive user...

The Peirce translation

We develop applications of selection functions to proof theory and computational extraction of witnesses from proofs in classical analysis. The main novelty is a translation of minimal logic plus Peirce’s law into minimal logic, which we refer to as the Peirce translation, as it eliminates uses of Peirce’s law. When combined with modified realizability this translation applies to full classical...

Wittgenstein worked as a porter at Guy's Hospital in London, and then as a technician at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle.
