Standard ML For The Lady Programmer

This book has in fact already been written. All that remains is to get it into print, I think. See  Terence Tao on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence and then https://kwarc.info/ and Comma Category. The cover will be a photograph of this portrait by Margaret Sarah Carpenter. See Guerilla Logic - The Books and Margaret Sarah Carpenter.

Florian Rabe on MMT: A UniFormal Approach to Knowledge Representation. See  Michael Kohlhase and Dennis Müller - The STeX3 Package Collection.

I think Florian was at Cambridge some time and maybe we had a conversation about the "Semantic Web" that went a bit like this? Me: "What is ontology?" Him: "Well, I don't really know!" If it was he, then I am fairly sure we had also had a brief exchange of emails when I was in Bolivia, in 2011 or so. On semantic antinomies and how to approach them from a Buddhist perspective, see Thomas Forster's 2023 article on the Burali-Forti paradox in The Reasoner.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory Illinois. Did
