On Double-Entry Bookkeeping: The Mathematical Treatment
David Ellerman
Double-entry bookkeeping (DEB) implicitly uses a specific mathematical construction, the group of differences using pairs of unsigned numbers ("T-accounts"). That construction was…
In Quantum Computing Speedup Illusory?: The False Coin of "Counting Function Evaluations"
David Ellerman
By using a new way to encode Boolean functions in a reversible gate, an algorithm is developed in quantum computing over Z_2, symbolized QC/2, (as opposed to QC over C) that needs…
On Self-Predicative Universals in Category Theory
David Ellerman
1. This paper shows how the universals of category theory in mathematics provide a model (in the Platonic Heaven of mathematics) for the self-predicative strand of Plato's Theory o…
Partitions and Objective Indefiniteness in Quantum Mechanics
David Ellerman
Classical physics and quantum physics suggest two meta-physical types of reality: the classical notion of a objectively definite reality with properties "all the way down," and the…
