Is there a categorical proof of Gödel's incompleteness theorem?

A significant result in set theory was shown by Cohen when he showed that the continuum hypothesis was independent of ZFC using a new technique called forcing. In Topos theory, this result has a new g …

Is there a nice characterisation of topoi with nice meta-logical properties?

First-order order classical logic with standard semantics has a proof theory: it is complete, sound and effective. In higher order logic with standard semantics one cannot obtain a proof theory - i …

What categories correspond to the typed lambda calculus with parametric types?

the unadorned typed lambda calculus correspond to the closed cartesian categories, but if we add in dependent or parametric types how are they then characterised?

What is the analogue for the category of presheafs for complement toposes?

Complement Toposes are dual in a sense to (elementary) Toposes and are expected to have typed higher paraconsistent logic as its internal language (as dual intuitionistic logic is paraconsistent). No …

What is the impact on Godels theorem of Paraconsistency?

Russells paradox forced a restriction of the natural abstraction principle (that every predicate determines a set) so that Set Theory could be consistent. The standard one being ZF. However paraconsi …

is there any connection between the consistent histories interpretation of quantum mechanics...

Kripke semantics interpret intuitionistic logic by a partially ordered set of worlds/situations. Consistent histories interpretation of QM elaborates the copenhagen interpretation where a consistent s …

Is there a useful Galois connection between Languages and Grammars?

I've just beginning to learn logic and proof theory - and the following rather vague and perhaps ill-formed question occurred to me. Given an alphabet it's straightforward to construct the Language, …

Is there a nice theorem that makes essential use of types in typed first-order logic?

I've read (somewhere) that types in typed first-order logic is just 'syntactic sugar'. But, surely there is more to than that? For example: the upper-bound property of the reals can't be expressed i …

Borges 'The Library of Babel' is a beautiful meditation on all sorts of philosophical positions around the 'idea' of infinity, epistemology, the sociology of science, set theory paradoxes. Its literat …
