Can Identity Be Relativized?
نویسندگان
چکیده
What is the scope of identity? The intuitive response is that it applies everywhere, since every object is identical to itself. In this sense, identity is a general concept. In this chapter, I argue for the generality of identity by critically examining some attempts at relativizing it. I argue that each alleged instance of relativization ultimately presupposes identity, and as a result, identity still stands – in all of its un-relativized glory.

Multicovering Bounds from Relative Covering Radii
The multicovering radii of a code are recently introduced natural generalizations of the covering radius measuring the smallest radius of balls around codewords that cover all m-tuples of vectors. In this paper we prove a new identity relating the multicovering radii of a code to a relativized notion of ordinary covering radius. This identity is used to prove new bounds on the multicovering rad...
متن کاملRelativizations of the Principle of Identity
We discuss some logico-mathematical systems which deviate from classical logic and mathematics with respect to the concept of identity. In the first part of the paper we present very general formulations of the principle of identity and show how they can be ‘relativized’ to objects and to properties. Then, as an application, we study the particular cases of physics (the transgression of the pri...
متن کاملHierarchies of Relativized Time - Bounded
Some results on relativized time-bounded complexity classes are presented. There can be many kinds of hierarchies of complexity subclasses of relativized NP. For brevity, let P(A, k) \NP(A, k)} be the relativized complexity class DTIME^(/i*) [resp. NTIME^/i*)] with respect to oracle set A. (For k=l, replace n by 2ri). Then for example: 1). There is an oracle set A such that for all k>Q P(A, k) ...
متن کاملPreservation of Sahlqvist fixed point equations in completions of relativized fixed point Boolean algebras with operators
We define Sahlqvist fixed point equations and relativized fixed point Boolean algebras with operators (relativized fixed point BAOs). We show that every Sahlqvist fixed point equation is preserved under completions of conjugated relativized fixed point BAOs. This extends the result of Givant and Venema [8] to the setting of relativized fixed point BAOs.
متن کاملRelativized codes
A code C over an alphabet Σ is a set of words such that every word in C+ has a unique factorization over C, that is, a unique C-decoding. When not all words in C+ appear as messages, a weaker notion of unique factorization can be used. Thus we consider codes C relative to a given set of messages L, such that each word in L has a unique C-decoding. We extend this idea of relativizing code concep...
