Assertion, Denial and Non-classical Theories
In this paper I urge friends of truth-value gaps and truth-value gluts – proponents of paracomplete and paraconsistent logics – to consider theories not merely as sets of sentences, but as pairs of sets of sentences, or what I call ‘bitheories,’ which keep track not only of what holds according to the theory, but also what fails to hold according to the theory. I explain the connection between ...
متن کاملNew Classical Limits of Quantum Theories
Quantum fluctuations of some systems vanish not only in the limit h̄ → 0, but also as some other parameters (such as 1 N , the inverse of the number of ‘colors’ of a Yang-Mills theory) vanish. These lead to new classical limits that are often much better approximations to the quantum theory. We describe two examples: the familiar Hartree– Fock-Thomas-Fermi methods of atomic physics as well as th...
متن کاملEffective Theories of Coupled Classical and Quantum Variables
We address the issue of coupling variables which are essentially classical to variables that are quantum. Two approaches are discussed. In the first (based on collaborative work with L.Diósi), continuous quantum measurement theory is used to construct a phenomenological description of the interaction of a quasiclassical variable X with a quantum variable x, where the quasiclassical nature of X ...
متن کاملClassical and non-classical computation
supportive in the design process. For this to be possible, computation must be understood in a broad sense, encompassing both the narrow, digital kind of computation and the more general kind of computation in which objects may only have digital approximations. It is this broad approach that we have adopted. The aspects of computation considered here are representation and process. Representati...
متن کاملTruth Values and Connectives in Some Non-Classical Logics
The question as to whether the propositional logic of Heyting, which was a formalization of Brouwer's intuitionistic logic, is finitely many valued or not, was open for a while (the question was asked by Hahn). Kurt Gödel (1932) introduced an infinite decreasing chain of intermediate logics, which are known nowadays as Gödel logics, for showing that the intuitionistic logic is not finitely (man...
