We study the properties of the constructible universe, L, over intuitionistic theories. We give an extended set of fundamental operations which is sufficient to generate the universe over Intuitionistic Kripke-Platek set theory without…

Fine-tuning in physics and cosmology is often used as evidence that a theory is incomplete. For example, the parameters of the standard model of particle physics are "unnaturally" small (in various technical senses), which has driven much…

The work lays the foundations of the theory of changeable sets. In author opinion, this theory, in the process of it's development and improvement, can become one of the tools of solving the sixth Hilbert problem least for physics of…

Evidence for fine-tuning of physical parameters suitable for life can perhaps be explained by almost any combination of providence, coincidence or multiverse. A multiverse usually includes parts unobservable to us, but if the theory for it…

Fix a set-theoretic universe $V$. We look at small extensions of $V$ as generalised degrees of computability over $V$. We also formalise and investigate the complexity of certain methods one can use to define, in $V$, subclasses of degrees…

We present a notion of forcing that can be used, in conjunction with other results, to show that there is a Martin-L\"of random set X such that X does not compute 0' and X computes every K-trivial set.

We prove that if $A,B$ are compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ such that the upper density of $B$ is positive at every point of $B$, then there is a closed null set $N\subset A$ such that $N+B=A+B$. As a corollary we find that if $A,B\subset…

The main theorem of this article is that every countable model of set theory M, including every well-founded model, is isomorphic to a submodel of its own constructible universe. In other words, there is an embedding $j:M\to L^M$ that is…

For any infinite subset $X$ of the rationals and a subset $F \subseteq X$ which has no isolated points in $X$ we construct a function $f: X \to X$ such that $f(f(x))=x$ for each $x\in X$ and $F $ is the set of discontinuity points of $f$.

Metaphysical interpretations of set theory are either inconsistent or incoherent. The uses of sets in mathematics actually involve three distinct kinds of collections (surveyable, definite, and heuristic), which are governed by three…

For any $d\in \mathbb{N}$ and any function $f:(0,\infty)\to [0,1]$ with $f(R)\to 0$ as $R\to \infty$, we construct a set $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ and a sequence $R_n \to \infty$ such that $\|x-y\| \neq R_n$ for all $x,y\in A$ and…

In this paper we develop a measure-theoretic method to treat problems in hypergraph theory. Our central theorem is a correspondence principle between three objects: An increasing hypergraph sequence, a measurable set in an ultraproduct…

It is argued that every measurement is made in a certain scale. The scale in which present measuments are made is called present scale which gives present knowledge. Quantities at the limits to present measurement may be observables in…

An emergent theory of quantum measurement arises directly by considering the particular subset of many body wavefunctions that can be associated with classical condensed matter and its interaction with delocalized wavefunctions. This…

In this paper we study the theories of the infinite-branching tree and the $r$-regular tree, and show that both of them are pseudofinite. Moreover, we show that they can be realized by infinite ultraproducts of polynomial exact classes of…

We comment on a recent paper that connects certain forms of machine learning to Set Theory. We point out that part of the set-theoretic machinery is related to a result of Kuratowski about decompositions of finite powers of sets and we show…

Partial descriptions of the Universe are presented in the form of linear equations considered in the free (full, super) Fock space. The universal properties of these equations are discussed. The closure problem caused by computational and…

We give a sufficient condition for the Fourier dimension of a countable union of sets to equal the supremum of the Fourier dimensions of the sets in the union, and show by example that the Fourier dimension is not countably stable in…

It is well known due to Hahn and Mazurkiewicz that every Peano continuum is a continuous image of the unit interval. We prove that an assignment, which takes as an input a Peano continuum and produces as an output a continuous mapping whose…

This paper deals with formulas of set theory which force the infinity. For such formulas, we provide a technique to infer satisfiability from a finite assignment.
