It's more about the techniques developed along the way than the actual number itself. What's the point of running a marathon? Is it to expand your hunting range?

I'm not sure the original paper has enough substance to precisely pin down the author's preferred axioms. In practice, the adjectives "intuitionistic" and "constructive" are used with enough author-specific mea

Here's what looks like the original paper; it's a mere 3 pages long: https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.01653 It's a lot of prose with hand-wavy analogies. My takeaway is that the author seems to have become ena

Hrm. Let's step back for a moment. Your responses read to me as defensive and it is not my intent at all to attack your position. If you do not want to deal with APL/J/K, that's perfectly fine. Your interests and goals a
