On the nature of minds, or: truth and consequences
Are minds really dynamical or are they really symbolic? Because minds are bundles of computations, and because computation is always a matter of interpretation of one system by an...

Interval Arithmetic with Containment Sets
The idea of containment sets (csets) is due to Walster and Hansen, and the theory is mainly due to the first author. Now that floating point computation with infinities is widely a...

Comonadic Notions of Computation
We argue that symmetric (semi)monoidal comonads provide a means to structure context-dependent notions of computation such as notions of dataflow computation (computation on strea...
