Comonadic semantics for hybrid logic and bounded fragments
Samson Abramsky, Dan Marsden
In recent work, comonads and associated structures have been used to analyse a range of important notions in finite model theory, descriptive complexity and combinatorics. We exten…
On the Quantum-like Contextuality of Ambiguous Phrases
Daphne Wang, Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh, Samson Abramsky +1
Language is contextual as meanings of words are dependent on their contexts. Contextuality is, concomitantly, a well-defined concept in quantum mechanics where it is considered a m…
Team Semantics and Independence Notions in Quantum Physics
Samson Abramsky, Joni Puljujärvi, Jouko Väänänen
We study dependence and independence concepts found in quantum physics, especially those related to hidden variables and non-locality, through the lens of team semantics and probab…
Arboreal Categories: An Axiomatic Theory of Resources
Samson Abramsky, Luca Reggio
Game comonads provide a categorical syntax-free approach to finite model theory, and their Eilenberg-Moore coalgebras typically encode important combinatorial parameters of structu…
