The Limits of Mathematics

چکیده

In a remarkable development, I have constructed a new definition for a self-delimiting universal Turing machine (UTM) that is easy to program and runs very quickly. This provides a new foundation for algorithmic information theory (AIT), which is the theory of the size in bits of programs for self-delimiting UTM’s. Previously, AIT had an abstract mathematical quality. Now it is possible to write down executable programs that embody the constructions in the proofs of theorems. So AIT goes from dealing with remote idealized mythical objects to being a theory about practical down-to-earth gadgets that one can actually play with and use. This new self-delimiting UTM is implemented via software written in a new version of LISP that I invented especially for this purpose. This LISP was designed by writing an interpreter for it in Mathematica that was then translated into C. I have tested this software by running it on IBM RS/6000 workstations with the AIX version of UNIX.

Limits in modified categories of interest

‎We firstly prove the completeness of the category of crossed modules in a modified category of interest‎. ‎Afterwards‎, ‎we define pullback crossed modules and pullback cat objects that are both obtained by pullback diagrams with extra structures on certain arrows‎. ‎These constructions unify many corresponding results for the cases of groups‎, ‎commutative algebras and can also be adapted to ...

A Universal Investigation of $n$-representations of $n$-quivers

noindent We have two goals in this paper. First, we investigate and construct cofree coalgebras over $n$-representations of quivers, limits and colimits of $n$-representations of quivers, and limits and colimits of coalgebras in the monoidal categories of $n$-representations of quivers. Second, for any given quivers $mathit{Q}_1$,$mathit{Q}_2$,..., $mathit{Q}_n$, we construct a new quiver $math...

Direct Limit of Krasner (m, n)-Hyperrings

The purpose of this paper is the study of direct limits in category of Krasner (m, n)-hyperrings. In this regards we introduce and study direct limit of a direct system in category (m, n)-hyperrings. Also, we consider fundamental relation , as the smallest equivalence relation on an (m, n)-hyperring R such that the quotient space is an (m, n)-ring, to introdu...

Construction of α-cut fuzzy X control charts based on standard deviation and range using fuzzy triangular numbers

Control charts are one of the most important tools in statistical process control that lead to improve quality processes and ensure required quality levels. In traditional control charts, all data should be exactly known, whereas there are many quality characteristics that cannot be expressed in numerical scale, such as characteristics for appearance, softness, and color. Fuzzy sets theory is a...

On exponentiable soft topological spaces

An object $X$ of a category $mathbf{C}$ with finite limits is called exponentiable if the functor $-times X:mathbf{C}rightarrow mathbf{C}$ has a right adjoint. There are many characterizations of the exponentiable  spaces in the category $mathbf{Top}$ of topological spaces. Here, we study the exponentiable objects in the category $mathbf{STop}$ of soft topological spaces which is a generalizati...
