I tried to get Jonathan Blow engaged in the Rust RFC process to improve productivity for gamedevs. However, he thought it was a better idea to start working on his own language (Jai). When I did some research for the Piston project, I learn

Logic by default does not have a bias toward consistency. The bias is added by people who design and use mathematical languages using logic. It does not mean that the theory you are using is inconsistent. Asking "why do you want to be

Yeah, this is too imprecise. I tried to translate to your terminology, but failed. My system uses "tautological equality" and this allows me to treat them the save way for all tautological congruent operators. Ofc, you can't

I want to reason hypothetically, which is why I don't use syntactic equality. I only use syntactic inequality in a very limited sense, e.g. two symbols `foo'` and `bar'` are symbolic distinct, so one can introduce `sd(foo

In mathematics, the roof holds up the building, not the foundation. Since humans use mathematics a lot, we design foundations to our specific needs. It is not the building we are worried about, we just want better foundations to create bett

> Does `a^b` mean `a` is provable in all worlds in which `b` is valid, i.e. taken as an axiom in the underlying proof theory, or something like that? Yes. You can also think of it as a function pointer `b -> a`. Unlike lambdas/cl

I think the most exciting work in mathematics today is in the formal foundations. However, I can also understand mathematicians who are thinking like this: 1. I only need normal congruence 2. I only need perfect information games Under prob

One thing I would like point out with Gödel's incompleteness theorems, is that there are different notions of provability. Gödel uses the notion of "provability" you get from Provability Logic, which is a modal logic where yo

Is your goal to have as few axioms as possible, or as few syntactic constructions as possible?

The foundations of mathematics are all about language design. To answer this question, one must say something about which language a foundation of mathematics is using. For example, Set Theory is formalized in First Order Logic. However, Fi

This update changes the PSI implementation (path semantical logic) to use a safe model of path semantical quality. The problem previously was how to handle reflexivity without symbolic distinction (this is beyond IPL - constructive logic).
