On the Notion of Diachronic Emergence. Jessica Wilson
@ CUNY Grad Center, 7314
Dec 2 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Though most accounts of emergence take this to be a broadly synchronic phenomenon, it has been recently maintained that there are distinctively diachronic forms of emergence (see, e.g., O’Connor and Wong’s 2005 account of strong emergence, Mitchell’s 2012 dynamic self-organization account of emergence, and Humphreys’ and Sartenaer and Guay’s 2016 accounts of ‘transformational emergence’). Here I argue that there is no need for a distinctively diachronic notion of emergence, as purported cases of such emergence[...]

Absolute Provability and Intuitionistic Tense. Vincent A. Peluce

Absolute Provability and Intuitionistic Tense. Vincent A. Peluce
@ CUNY Grad Center, 9206
Dec 5 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Well-known ties between arithmetical proof and intuitionistic logic make it natural to think of provability in terms of intuitionistic logic and hence absolute provability in terms of one of its extensions. For this reason, we propose Intuitionistic Tense Logic, or tINT, to study absolute provability. We delineate tINT models and a Hilbert-style system, and then prove soundness and completeness. We then use the tINT framework to discuss and compare ideas of absolute provability of authors[...]

Logic in Fiction. Mark Colyvan

Logic in Fiction. Mark Colyvan
@ CUNY Grad Center, 7314
Dec 9 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
This paper will address the question of whether the logic of a fiction can be specified as part of the fiction. For example, can one tell a fictional story in which it is part of the story that the logic in question is, say, K3? It seems unproblematic that we can do this. After all, we can tell a story about a world with a different geometry from ours, different physical laws, and even different[...]
