In the same sense as classical logic is a formal theory of truth, the recently initiated approach called computability logic is a formal theory of computability. It understands (interactive) computational problems as games played by a…

This article reformulates the theory of computable physical models, previously introduced by the author, as a branch of applied model theory in first-order logic. It provides a semantic approach to the philosophy of science that…
We introduce the concept of constructible ideal and we relate this concept with the notion of constructible simplicial complex. Several properties of constructible ideals are studied.
As suggested by the title, this paper is a survey of recent results and questions on the collection of computably enumerable sets under inclusion. This is not a broad survey but one focused on the author's and a few others' current…
We investigate the relationship between algebraic integrability and the model theoretic notion of internality. Our main result give a geometric account of almost internality and indeed we show that this notion correspond in a reasonable way…
This paper reviews connections between physics and computation, and explores their implications. The main topics are computational "hardness" of physical systems, computational status of fundamental theories, quantum computation, and the…
Computability theory is traditionally conceived as the theoretical basis of informatics. Nevertheless, numerous proposals transcend computability theory, in particular by emphasizing interaction of modules, or components, parts,…
Computability logic is a formal theory of computational tasks and resources. Its formulas represent interactive computational problems, logical operators stand for operations on computational problems, and validity of a formula is…
A coherent mathematical overview of computation and its generalisations is described. This conceptual framework is sufficient to comfortably host a wide range of contemporary thinking on embodied computation and its models.
Classification is an important goal in many branches of mathematics. The idea is to describe the members of some class of mathematical objects, up to isomorphism or other important equivalence in terms of relatively simple invariants. Where…
This lecture addresses some general ideas behind numerical computations ranging from representation of numbers in computers to stability and accuracy of standard algorithms for some simple mathematical problems.
Contracts are an essential and fundamental component of commerce and society, serving to clarify agreement between multiple parties. While digital technologies have helped to automate many activities associated with contracting, the…
This chapter summarizes quantum computation, including the motivation for introducing quantum resources into computation and how quantum computation is done. Finally, this chapter articulates advantages and limitations of quantum…
In this first of two papers, strong limits on the accuracy of physical computation are established. First it is proven that there cannot be a physical computer C to which one can pose any and all computational tasks concerning the physical…
We present a logical framework that enables us to define a formal theory of computational trust in which this notion is analysed in terms of epistemic attitudes towards the possible objects of trust and in relation to existing evidence in…
We define notions of generically and coarsely computable relations and structures and functions between structures. We investigate the existence and uniqueness of equivalence structures in the context of these definitions
This paper introduces abstractions that are meaningful for computers and that can be built and used according to computers' own criteria, i.e., computable abstractions. It is analyzed how abstractions can be seen to serve as the building…
This article is a draft of a book chapter of the book entitled "Quantum Percolation and Breakdown", to appear 2008.
Computability logic is a formal theory of computability. The earlier article "Introduction to cirquent calculus and abstract resource semantics" by Japaridze proved soundness and completeness for the basic fragment CL5 of computability…
