Inspired by Zermelo's quasi-categoricity result characterizing the models of second-order Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory $\text{ZFC}_2$, we investigate when those models are fully categorical, characterized by the addition to $\text{ZFC}_2$…
In this note we study several topics related to the schema of local reflection $\mathsf{Rfn}(T)$ and its partial and relativized variants. Firstly, we introduce the principle of uniform reflection with $\Sigma_n$-definable parameters,…
There are several examples in the literature showing that compactness-like properties of a cardinal $\kappa$ cause poor behavior of some generic ultrapowers which have critical point $\kappa$ (Burke \cite{MR1472122} when $\kappa$ is a…
Despite the empirical success of foundation models, we do not have a systematic characterization of the representations that these models learn. In this paper, we establish the contexture theory. It shows that a large class of…
We consider complete lattices equipped with preorderings indexed by the ordinals less than a given (limit) ordinal subject to certain axioms. These structures, called stratified complete lattices, and weakly monotone functions over them,…
While recent advances in large reasoning models have demonstrated remarkable performance, efficient reasoning remains critical due to the rapid growth of output length. Existing optimization approaches highlights a tendency toward…
The primary purpose of this article is to show that a certain natural set of axioms yields a completeness result for continuous first-order logic. In particular, we show that in continuous first-order logic a set of formulae is (completely)…
Large language models have recently demonstrated significant gains in reasoning ability, often attributed to their capacity to generate longer chains of thought and engage in reflective reasoning. However, the contribution of reflections to…
Assume ZFC. Let $\kappa$ be a cardinal. A ${<\kappa}$-ground is a transitive proper class $W$ modelling ZFC and such that $V$ is a generic extension of $W$ via a forcing $\mathbb{P}\in W$ of cardinality ${<\kappa}$. The $\kappa$-mantle is…
I investigate the relationships between three hierarchies of reflection principles for a forcing class $\Gamma$: the hierarchy of bounded forcing axioms, of $\Sigma^1_1$-absoluteness and of Aronszajn tree preservation principles. The latter…
In light of the celebrated theorem of Vop\v{e}nka (1972), proving in ZFC that every set is generic over HOD, it is natural to inquire whether the set-theoretic universe $V$ must be a class-forcing extension of HOD by some possibly…
In this paper we scrutinize the so called Principle of Local Lorentz Invariance (\emph{PLLI}) that many authors claim to follow from the Equivalence Principle. Using rigourous mathematics we introduce in the General Theory of Relativity two…
Recently, in Axioms 10(2): 119 (2021), a nonclassical first-order theory T of sets and functions has been introduced as the collection of axioms we have to accept if we want a foundational theory for (all of) mathematics that is not weaker…
We propose a reflection principle for holomorphic objects in ${\Bbb C}^n$. Our construction generalizes the classical principle of H.Lewy, S.Pinchuk and S.Webster.
The ground axiom is the assertion that the set-theoretic universe is not obtainable by forcing over any inner model. Although this appears at first to be a second-order assertion, it is actually first-order expressible in the language of…
While many inner model theoretic combinatorial principles are incompatible with large cardinal axioms, on some rare occasions, large cardinals actually imply that the structure of the universe of sets is analogous to the canonical inner…
While extracting information from data with machine learning plays an increasingly important role, physical laws and other first principles continue to provide critical insights about systems and processes of interest in science and…
Independence of premise principles play an important role in characterizing the modified realizability and the Dialectica interpretations. In this paper we show that a great many intuitionistic set theories are closed under the…
We study differential forms invariant under a finite reflection group over a field of arbitrary characteristic. In particular, we prove an analogue of Saito's freeness criterion for invariant differential 1-forms. We also discuss how…
We study the question of when a given countable ordinal $\alpha$ is $\Sigma^1_n$- or $\Pi^1_n$-reflecting in models which are neither $\mathsf{PD}$ models nor the constructible universe, focusing on generic extensions of $L$. We prove,…
