| Measure-perfect sets of reals--existing nomenclature? | 27 Feb 2005 19:33 GMT | 2 |
Say a set S of reals is "measure-perfect" if i) S is closed, and ii) for every x in S and every open nbhd U containing x, U intersect S has positive measure

| Proving of classical syllogisms | 27 Feb 2005 18:32 GMT | 3 |
I have earlier told that quantity relation logic can be used to prove syllogisms. As, as far I know, there are no other logic available to do this I've make myself an exercice of it. This

| Proper Turing cones are null? | 27 Feb 2005 07:17 GMT | 9 |
I *think* the following is true -- if x is a noncomputable real, then the set of y such that x is computable wrt y has measure 0. Or equivalently, a random real (in the sense of forcing) does not compute any noncomputable real from the

| the logical argument behind equation solving?? | 27 Feb 2005 00:19 GMT | 2 |
does this make sense: when you're trying to find the truth set of a proposition P(x) (for example, an equation or an inequality), you proceed by steps that are either revesible (<=>) or non-reversible (strictly => or <=) -- then does this follow? : if you proceed by <=>,

| Union of Uncountable Totally Imperfect Sets | 23 Feb 2005 22:32 GMT | 1 |
Is the disjoint union of uncountable totally imperfect sets necessarily totally imperfect? Recall that a set is totally imperfect if it contains no non-empty perfect subset. Since a subset of a totally imperfect set is clearly totally imperfect, if the union of uncountable

| does sqrt(2) exist in CM? | 23 Feb 2005 14:33 GMT | 167 |
Does Sqrt(2) exist in Constructive Mathematics? Proofs have to be finite AIUI, so unless we artificially augment the postulated objects, irrational numbers do not exist in CM.

| Tsunami and the SEGNPMSS | 23 Feb 2005 09:49 GMT | 17 |
We know that the December 2004 Tsunami took approximately 160 000 lives and that a Tsunami is caused by an underwater earthquake. And who says that an earthqake is a natural disaster and not man made terrorism? If terrorists use lasers and beam it long enough in a

| Richard's antinomy | 23 Feb 2005 05:35 GMT | 19 |
Is there anybody familiar with Richard's antinomy, and how it was resolved by logicians? I noticed that there are alternative ways to formalize the argument, making it even more interesting from a metamathematics point of view. I
