Unlike the relativity theory it seeks to replace, causal set theory has been interpreted to leave space for a substantive, though perhaps 'localized', form of 'becoming'. The possibility of fundamental becoming is nourished by the fact that…
The present text is a collection of notes about differential geometry prepared to some extent as part of tutorials about topics and applications related to tensor calculus. They can be regarded as continuation to the previous notes on…
We introduce the notion of order projections using the order unit property of a positive element in an order unit space and characterize them in terms of (geometric) orthogonality. We describe order projections of the order unit space…
A new kind of duality between the deep structures of spacetime and matter is proposed here, considering two partial orders which incorporate causality, extensity, and discreteness. This may have surprising consequences for the emergence of…
A concise discussion of the axiomatic approach to the concept of parallel transport is presented. Attention is drawn to a bijective map between the sets of connections and (axiomatically defined) parallel transports. The transports along…
In this article we survey some of the recent developments in the structure theory of set addition.
At present the theory of skew-symmetric exterior differential forms has been developed. The closed exterior forms possess the invariant properties that are of great importance. The operators of the exterior form theory lie at the basis of…
This paper provides a thorough introduction to the causal set hypothesis aimed at students, and other interested persons, with some knowledge of general relativity and nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. I elucidate the arguments for why the…
In order to apply nonstandard methods to modern algebraic geometry, as a first step in this paper we study the applications of nonstandard constructions to category theory. It turns out that many categorial properties are well behaved under…
We formulate a theory of shape valid for objects of arbitrary dimension whose contours are path connected. We apply this theory to the design and modeling of viable trajectories of complex dynamical systems. Infinite families of…
Linear topological spaces with partial ordering (linear kinematics) are studied. They are defined by a set of 8 axioms implying that topology, linear structure and ordering are compatible with each other. Most of the results are valid for…
In [1] we introduced the concept of structured space, which is a topological space that locally resembles some algebraic structures. In [2] we proceeded the study of these spaces, developing two cohomology theories. The aim of this paper is…
Necessary and sufficient conditions for the exactness (in the algebraic sense) of certain sequences of continuous group homomorphisms are established.
Following on from the notion of (first-order) causality, which generalises the notion of being tracepreserving from CP-maps to abstract processes, we give a characterization for the most general kind of map which sends causal processes to…
This is the seventh part in a series of papers in which we introduce and develop a natural, general tensor category theory for suitable module categories for a vertex (operator) algebra. In this paper (Part VII), we give sufficient…
We present a theory and applications of discrete exterior calculus on simplicial complexes of arbitrary finite dimension. This can be thought of as calculus on a discrete space. Our theory includes not only discrete differential forms but…
We generalize first-species counterpoint theory to arbitrary rings and obtain some new counting and maximization results that enrich the theory of admitted successors, pointing to a structural approach, beyond computations. The…
The concept of relative sectional category expands upon classical sectional category theory by incorporating the pullback of a fibration along a map. Our paper aims not only to explore this extension but also to thoroughly investigate its…
In this paper, we describe a general theory of "spaces with structure sheaves." Specializations of this theory include the classical theory of schemes, the theory of Deligne-Mumford stacks, and their derived generalizations.
This paper introduces a class of objects called decision rules that map infinite sequences of alternatives to a decision space. These objects can be used to model situations where a decision maker encounters alternatives in a sequence such…
