The smallest infinity is the cardinality of the natural numbers. We say that any set with such a cardinality is countable, since its elements can… Continue reading Paper Review: Is the Dream Solution of the Continuum Hypothesis Attainable?

Paper Review: Nonconglomerability for Countably Additive Measures that are not κ-additive
Probability plays a central role in this blog---many of my posts focus on where probability makes contact with philosophy and physics. However, there is also of course the mathematical theory of probability. The mathematics and the;philosophy interact in many ways, often technical results in the mathematics can be important for our work as philosophers. For… Continue reading Paper Review: Nonconglomerability for Countably Additive Measures that are not κ-additive
