CANTOR DISPROOF <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Hypothesis: a real number contains a finite sequence that is not computable. Contradiction Therefore: all digits of every real are contained in the list of computable reals. _________________________________________________________________ This may not IMPLY that all infinite digit sequences are computable,... 7 Jul 2010 13:29
Muddled query about models of ZF. As it says, this may be a stupid query. Be gentle. 1st-order PA has many models. But it seems to me that there is a very clear "minimal model", in that the standard model is (isomorphic to) a subset of any other model. And I gather that this fact can be proved with a fairly trivial extension of PA itself, ext... 28 Jun 2010 12:50
Solomon Feferman's notion of the "unfolding" of ZF In http://math.stanford.edu/~feferman/papers/unfolding.pdf Feferman gives a sense in which Mahlo cardinals can be seen as part of an "unfolding" of ZF in a similar sense to that in which predicative analysis is the "unfolding" of PA. However he only permits reflection formulas in which the class variables a... 20 Jun 2010 10:11
