Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Skolem's Paradox (First Order Logic).Since @Matterwave and @gentzen who write here are also interested in quantum foundations, let me give one metaphorical analogy. Theorems... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Skolem's Paradox (First Order Logic).What kind of logic is lol? :oldbiggrin: Note that Godel incompleteness theorems are valid in both FoL and SoL. Which should not be... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Skolem's Paradox (First Order Logic).In this case ##\mathbb{R}^\mathfrak{A}## looks countable. Second order logic is of course not necessary, but it has its advantages and... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Skolem's Paradox (First Order Logic).Let me better explain how I see the Skolem "paradox", by emphasizing the logical order of the whole construction. 1. Write down the... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Skolem's Paradox (First Order Logic).To put my point in a stronger form, let me make it more compact, without specifying details in which someone could find inessential... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Skolem's Paradox (First Order Logic).That's one of many apparent paradoxes of first-order logic. In first-order logic you are not allowed to say things such as "there is a... -

This one trips me up all the time, but the elements of N must also be sets because everything in set theory are sets. The natural... -

Like.
Sorry it's taking a few days to properly respond to your comprehensive post. Will be back soon, I have tax return deadline I'm facing LOL. -

@Demystifier answered this in post #4. -
Demystifier reacted to A. Neumaier's post in the thread Graduate How many interpretations of QM do you speak? with
Like.
The best paper that formulates the measurement problem in a way that is clearer than current formulations is Muller, F. A. (2023). Six... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate How many interpretations of QM do you speak?.I think quantum theory is not so difficult to understand once you accept this: Quantum theory, in its usual textbook form, is not about... -
Demystifier replied to the thread High School How can a local interaction affect different parts of an atom?.The interactions are described by local field theory. The change at one place creates a local change in the field, after which this... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate How many interpretations of QM do you speak?.I would call it non-probabilistic. By the way, a joint probability of position and momentum can be defined with the Husimi... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Entanglement swapping and Bohmian mechanics.By the way, @Lord Jestocost I like your signature. The same idea is defended also in the paper in my signature.
