Model Theory of Ultrafinitism II: Deconstructing the Term Model (First Draft)

Logic 2023-12-01 v1 Logic in Computer Science

Abstract

This paper presents a novel possible worlds semantics, designed to elucidate the underpinnings of ultrafinitism. By constructing a careful modification of the well-known Kripke models for inuitionistic logic, we seek to extend our comprehension of the ultra-finite mindset. As it turns out, the passage from standard constructivist mathematics to the ultrafinite is in a sense an operation of deconstruction of familiar mathematical entities, most notably clear when it comes to N.
