Consistency and Fairness in Sentencing
Sentencing law is so indeterminate that it has been labeled the `high point in antijurisprudence'.1 The vast discretion left to judges when sentencing has resulted in widespread inconsistency in sentencing.

متن کاملPartial Recursive Functions and Finality
We seek universal categorical conditions ensuring the representability of all partial recursive functions. In the category Pfn of sets and partial functions, the natural numbers provide both an initial algebra and a final coalgebra for the functor 1 + −. We recount how finality yields closure of the partial functions on natural numbers under Kleene’s μ-recursion scheme. Noting that Pfn is not c...
متن کاملCasper the Friendly Finality Gadget
We introduce Casper, a proof of stake-based finality system which overlays an existing proof of work blockchain. Casper is a partial consensus mechanism combining proof of stake algorithm research and Byzantine fault tolerant consensus theory. We introduce our system, prove some desirable features, and show defenses against long range revisions and catastrophic crashes. The Casper overlay provi...
