Implementable Set Theory and Consistency of ZFC
... Another philosophical note is in place, when we are saying that we ”make with an axiom” and denote this as an implication A =⇒ B. In common mathematics, the implication =⇒ just means what is defined by a truth table in propositional logic. But there is another form of mathematics, called constructiv ...

Lesson 12
... 1. A, B are not formulas, but meta-symbols denoting any formula. Each axiom schema denotes an infinite class of formulas of a given form. If axioms were specified by concrete formulas, like 1. p (q p) 2. (p (q r)) ((p q) (p r)) 3. (q p) (p q) we would have to extend the set o ...

Introduction to Theoretical Computer Science, lesson 3
... First, determine the elements of the universe denoted by terms, then determine the truth-values of atomic formulas, and finally, determine the truth-value of the (composed) formula Evaluation of terms: Let v be a valuation that associates each variable x with an element of the universe: v(x) U. By ...

Distance, Ruler Postulate and Plane Separation Postulate
... The Ruler Postulate implicitly defines two functions 1. The metric function that measures the distance 2. A coordinate function that tells us how to place the ruler ● When we place a ruler to measure a distance we can use any section of the ruler to measure ● The easiest way to place the ruler is to ...
