The difficulty in conceiving of or describing an object without also conceiving of or describing its properties is a common justification for bundle theory, especially among current philosophers in the Anglo-American tradition. The inability to comprehend any aspect of the thing other than its properties implies, this argument maintains, that one cannot conceive of a bare particular (a substance without properties), an implication that directly opposes substance theory. The conceptual difficulty of bare particulars was illustrated by John Locke when he described a substance by it ...

There are many algorithms for processing strings, each with various tradeoffs. Some categories of algorithms include string searching algorithms for finding a given substring or pattern; sorting algorithms; regular expression algorithms; and parsing a string. Advanced string algorithms often employ complex mechanisms and data structures, among them suffix trees and finite state machines. ...

Peirce's reputation is based in large part on a number of academic papers published in American scholarly and scientific journals. These papers fill most of the eight volumes of the Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce, published between 1931 and 1958. Perhaps the best introduction to Peirce's writings is the two volumes titled The Essential Peirce (Houser 1992, 1998). In Peirce's day, one made a name in philosophy by publishing monographs on the subject, which he never did. Nor did he ever lay out systematically h ...

Candrakirti, the famous Madhyamaka philosopher used the aggregate nature of objects to demonstrate the lack of essence in what is known as the sevenfold reasoning. In his work, "Commentary on the 'Middle Way'", he says: A chariot is neither asserted to be other than its parts, nor to be non-other. It does not possess them. It does not depend on the parts, and the parts do not depend on it. It i ...

If f is a function from X to Y, the set X is called the domain of f, and Y is called its codomain. Each element of the domain is called an argument of the function. For each argument x, the corresponding unique y in the codomain is called the function value at x, or the image of x by (or under) the function. The value of a function f at an argument x is traditionally written f(xSee also:

Determinacy - Regularity properties for sets of reals. If A is a subset of Baire space such that the Banach-Mazur game for A is determined, then either II has a winning strategy, in which case A is meager, or I has a winning strategy, in which case A is comeager on some open neighborhood[1]. This does not quite imply that A has the property of Baire, but it comes close: A ...

Functions are used in every quantitative science, to model relationships between all kinds of physical quantities — especially when one quantity is completely determined by another quantity. Thus, for example, one may use a function to describe how the temperature of water affects its density. Functions are also used in computer science to model data structures and the effects of algorithms. However, the word is also used in computing in the very different sense of pro ...

There is an intimate relationship between determinacy and large cardinals. In general, stronger large cardinal axioms prove the determinacy of larger pointclasses, higher in the Wadge hierarchy, and the determinacy of such pointclasses, in turn, proves the existence of inner models of slightly weaker large cardinal axioms than those used to prove the determinacy of the pointclass in the first place.See also:

In 1975, Donald A. Martin proved that all Borel games are determined; that is, if A is a Borel subset of Baire space, then GA is determined. This is the best result possible using ZFC alone, in the sense that the determinacy of the next higher Wadge class is not provable in ZFC. Martin's proof uses the powerset axiom in an essential way. There is a level-by-level result detailing what fragment of the powerset axiom is necessary to guarantee de ...

Familiar real-world games of perfect information, such as chess or tic-tac-toe, are always finished in a finite number of moves. (It is an instructive exercise to figure out how to represent such games as games in the context of this article.) If such a game is modified to assign a draw to a particular player (for example, if we say that Black wins draws at chess), such games are always determined. The condition that the game is always over in a finite number of moves ("over" in the sense that all possible extensions of the finite pos ...

Bertrand Russell opined, "Beyond doubt … he was one of the most original minds of the later nineteenth century, and certainly the greatest American thinker ever." (Yet his Principia Mathematica fails to mention Peirce.) While reading some of Peirce's unpublished manuscripts soon after arriving at Harvard in 1924, Alfred North Whitehead was struck by the extent to which Peirce had anticipated his own "process" thinking. (On Peirce and process metaphysics, see the chapter by Lowe in Moore and Robin, 1964.) Karl Popper viewed Peirce as ...

Right from the beginning, the relations of America as New England with Europe were, from the philosophical point of view, ambiguous, when they were not simply difficult and, in the end, impossible. Peirce is in himself the ‘’resumé’’ of this story… from the rejection of European philosophical paradigms to the creation of new paradigms which are not only Peirce’s but America’s, and slowly but inevitably [those] of the global ...

Function mathematics - Injective surjective bijective. Three important properties that a function may have are: injective (or one-to-one, or an injection) if it associates different arguments to different values; i.e., if f(a) = f(b) implies a = b, for any arguments a and b; surjective (or onto, or a surjection) if its range is equal to its codomain; in other words, if for every y in the ...

Informally, a restriction of a function f is the result of trimming its graph to a smaller domain. More precisely, if f is a function from a X to Y, and S is any subset of X, the restriction of f to S is the function f|S from S to Y such that f|S(s) = f(s) for all s in S. The restriction f|S can also be expressed as the composition f incS,X, where incSSee also:

The functions f: X → Y and g: Y → Z can be composed by first applying f to an argument x and then applying g to the result. Thus one obtains a composite function g o f: X → Z defined by (g o f)(x) = g(f(x)) for all x in X. As an example, suppose that an airplane's height at time t is ...

The set of all functions from a set X to a set Y is denoted by X → Y, by [X → Y], or by YX. The latter notation is justified by the fact that |YX| = |Y||X|. See the article on cardinal numbers for more details. It is traditional to write f: X → Y to mean f ∈ [X → Y]; that is, "f is a function from X to Y". This statement is sometimes read "f ...

The condition for a binary relation f from X to Y to be a function can be split into two conditions: f is total, or entire: for each x in X, there exists some y in Y such that x is related to y. f is single-valued: for each x in X, there is at most one y in Y such that x is related to y. In some contexts, a relation that satisfies condition (1), but not necessarily (2) ...

One often extends the concept (and notation) of image of an argument to sets of arguments. Namely, if A is any subset of the domain X, the image of A under f is the subset of Y defined f(A) = {f(x) | x is in A} So, for example, the image of {-3,2,3} under the squaring function sqr is sqr({-3,2, 3}) = {4, 9}. This extension is consistent as long as no subset of the domain is also an element of the domain. A ...

The notion of function is generalizes to the notion of morphism in the context of category theory. A category is a collection of objects and morphisms, each morphism is an ordered triple (X, Y, f), where f is a rule connecting domain X and codomain Y, and X and Y are objects in the collection. Ordinary functions are sometimes referred to as morphisms in a concrete category. ...
