[en] We discuss a feature of the natural language of mathematics – the implicit
dynamic introduction of functions – that has, to our knowledge, not been captured in any formal system so far. If this feature is used without limitations, it yields a paradox analogous to Russell’s paradox. Hence any formalism capturing it has to impose some limitations on it. We sketch two formalisms, both extensions of Dynamic Predicate Logic, that innovatively do capture this feature, and that differ only in the limitations they impose onto it. One of these systems is based on Ackermann-like Function Theory, a novel foundational theory of functions that is inspired by Ackermann Set Theory and that interprets ZFC. | |
