Steve Awodey - Intentionality, Invariance and Univalence

19:59 "Q: What is an equivalence class under isomorphism? A: A set!" and the meaning of a proposition in intuitionstic logic is the set of its proofs. Now what a set is is a matter of taste, but Set Theory is the first-order theory of extensional equality and one binary operator. And a theory is a set of formulae closed under deduction. A theory is characterised by a signature. The language of a signature is the set of all well formed sentences built from the symbols in that signature together with the symbols in the logical system. See Standard ML For The Lady Programmer.

I talked a bit about this idea last night:


And I just noticed that YouTube has deleted all of Norman Wildberger's videos, or he deleted them, which seems unlikely:

No, it was vandalism. See his message on Pateron:

I have been hacked!! (2 days ago)

Dear Patrons, It appears I have been hacked in a major way. Please be patient as I try to unravel this nightmare. And disregard and crazy messages etc . I have been busy getting together interesting new videos on rational fourier series and other things, but that will have to wait.

It looks like my entires YouTube channel(s) are gone..

Sorry about that, will of course try to remedy.

All the best.

Norman

... 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, ... Sounds like Edith (II) Rix has been online all the t...

David Turner Obituary by Sarah Nicholas Fri 24 Nov 2023

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 ...
