The definition of ludicrous according to Eugene Ionesco is "that which devoid purpose. Man lost when he cut off from his transcendental, philosophical, and theological origins; all activities become ludicrous, meaningless, pointless. Every time defines the term ridiculous by referring same concept absurd, representation absurd infers a paradox. "absurd" doesn't have clear definition. Therefore,...

We present a possible computational content of the negative translation of classical analysis with the Axiom of Choice Our interpretation seems computationally more direct than the one based on G odel s Dialectica interpretation Interestingly this interpretation uses a re nement of the realizibility semantics of the absurdity proposition which is not interpreted as the empty type here We also s...

The idea of a macroscopic entity simultaneously existing in two distinct possible states was introduced by Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, as a Gedanken experimental demonstration of the absurdity of quantum mechanics [1]. Since then, evidence has mounted that reality is as absurd as quantum mechanics suggests, with persistent currents (of a few μA) of opposite circulation having been detected in SQ...

Moore’s Paradox is a statement of the form “p and I do not believe that p”, which can be true but is always absurd for an agent to assert. Such a statement poses a problem in that an agent is generally able to assert a true statement, but asserting Moore’s Paradox implies a contradiction of beliefs. I present an interpretation of Moore’s Paradox that preserves its absurdity while recasting it a...

every year there are in this country about 80,000 arrests for drunkenness. On that basis it only needs 12^ years for the courts to clock one million drunks through their turnstiles. The astonishing and almost totally unbelievable fact is that until very recently no one seems to have bothered to enquire as to the characteristics of the people wno get drunk in our streets. Society has sat by for ...

A construction of nondomain models for various type systems such as Martin-Löf’s type theory with intensional identity types, the polymorphic lambda calculus and other extensions of the simply typed lambda calculus is presented. These extensions include nearly all calculi in Barendregt’s lambda cube enriched by strong sums. The models can be arranged in such a way that the universal type Πα. α ...

urban quality of life represents more than the private “living standards” and refers to all the elements of the conditions in which people live, that is, all their needs and requirements. in economic literature, urban quality of life is usually assessed through the standard revealed-preference approach, which defines a qol index as the monetary value of urban amenities. this paper proposes an i...
