Speed as a crucial phenomenon of modernism affects individual and collective life of human being and changes the traits of the places people live in. Increasing speed is the demand of the modern era, though on the other side in recent years there is a contrary incline towards slowing down different aspects of life. In view of this, the dualities in between social features of Speed up and slow d...

Normalisation is Insensible to λ-term Identity or Difference

This paper analyses the computational behaviour of λterm applications. The properties we are interested in are weak normalisation (i.e. there is a terminating reduction) and strong normalisation (i.e. all reductions are terminating). One can prove that the application of a λ-term M to a fixed number n of copies of the same arbitrary strongly normalising λ-term is strongly normalising if and onl...

What Can Cognitive Science Say or Learn about Economic Crises?

The issue Economic crises bring to the fore deep issues for the economic profession: why are such crises often not foreseen, and what does this entail for economic theory? In this symposium we also adopt a self-critical analysis, by asking the following: what can the cognitive science community say or learn about cognition and behavior in the context of economic crises? After all, cognitive sci...

This paper discusses the differences and similarities of object-oriented programming systems and frame systems, and advocates the amalgamation of these two kinds of systems. A frame system called BEEF is introduced. It provides, in addition to frame system characteristics, the basic functionality and ease of use of an object-oriented extension of Common Lisp, making it well suited for knowledge...
