How does being classical help with automation? I'm more familiar with ACL2, which seems to gain a lot more on the automation front from being first-order than from anything else (though it has sort of a weird take on the excluded middl

Full-year sabbatical is the norm, but the home institution does not necessarily offer salary for that full year, so it's up to the professor to find funding for the rest of it from the host or some grant. According to their web site[1]

I think you could do some interesting stuff with error-correcting codes or polynomial spaces (or more generally function spaces). I'm not too familiar with representation theory. Do you know where I could find a worked example of const

Linear: having to do with lines, planes, etc. This definition makes me worry that the book is going to operate entirely in R^n. Is there anything here about substantively different vector spaces?

It takes a fair amount of work on top of "set theory and traditional mathematics" if you want to actually state a semantics for APL.

Spoilage would happen even in storage, but the rate was temperature-dependent so you could make it last longer by keeping it somewhere colder. I remember there being some work on preserving food indefinitely by storing it in a barrel of vin

You’re describing and absolute failure of the ABS system. In that scenario, braking hard enough to engage ABS at all is the failure. It is not a failure on ABS's part unless you consider all ABS faulty. Some loss of yaw control is in
