The Topology on a Complete Semilattice

Authors: Max Null, Sergey Belov
Comments: 23 Pages.

We define the topology atop(χ) on a complete upper semilattice χ = (M, ≤). The limit points are determined by the formula lim (X) = sup{a ∈ M | {x ∈ X| a ≤ x} ∈ D}, D where X ⊆ M is an arbitrary set, D is an arbitrary non-principal ultrafilter on X. We investigate lim (X) and topology atop(χ) properties. In particular, D we prove the compactness of the topology atop(χ).

Natural Non-Godel Definitions of Incompleteness [Естественные негёделевы определения неполноты]

Authors: Dmitry Vatolin
Comments: 6 Pages. In Russian

The definitions of "completeness" and "incompleteness" for mathematical theories are given, which differ from Gödel's definitions.The contradictions of Gödel's arguments are excluded. Found theorems that put everything in its place. [Даны определения «полноты» и «неполноты» для математических теорий, отличные от гёделевых. Исключены противоречия гёделевых доводов. Найдены теоремы, расставляющие всё на свои места]

Curry's Non-Paradox and Its False Definition

Authors: Adrian Chira
Comments: 7 Pages.

Curry's paradox is generally considered to be one of the hardest paradoxes to solve. It is shown here that the paradox can be arrived in fewer steps and also for a different term of the original biconditional. Further, using different approaches, it is also shown that the conclusion of the paradox must always be false and this is not paradoxical but it is expected to be so. One of the approaches points out that the starting biconditional of the paradox amounts to a false definition or assertion which consequently leads to a false conclusion. Therefore, the solution is trivial and the paradox turns out to be no paradox at all. Despite that fact that verifying the truth value of the first biconditional of the paradox is trivial, mathematicians and logicians have failed to do so and merely assumed that it is true. Taking this into consideration that it is false, the paradox is however dismissed. This conclusion puts to rest an important paradox that preoccupies logicians and points out the importance of verifying one's assumptions.
