In this article, we argue that the physical structure of the front garden and its ecosystem is determined by an ensemble of diverse social and natural processes. The essential social form is that of visuality,an abstract compositional force which provides conventions for assessing objects but also for reshaping their surface countenance and establishing their location within the garden. Accordi...

Lecture 8: September 26 8.1 Approximate Counting

Proof: Take t = O(log δ) trials of the original scheme and output the median. The reason this works is the following. In order for the median not to fall in the desired interval (1± ε)f(x), at least half of the t trials must fail to do so. However, each trial falls in the interval with probability at least 3 4 , so this is unlikely for large t. Specifically, we have Pr[the median is outside the...

Reducing Lambda Terms with Traversals (preprint) February 26, 2018

We introduce a method to evaluate untyped lambda terms by combining the theory of traversals,a term-tree traversing techniques inspired from Game Semantics [12, 8], with judicious use of theeta-conversion rule of the lambda calculus.The traversal theory of the simply-typed lambda calculus relies on the eta-long transform toensure that when traversing an application, there is...
