D. W.

In these essays – augmented by my novel, Ballistics+ which has more than once been described as having a 3very distinct voice. – I e-amine what+ e-actly+ we mean (or thin4 we mean6 by the term 3voice. when we use it in our discourse about fiction2 it turns out that what we know intuitively does not so elegantly hold up under scrutiny. I e-amine the standardi(ed methods for both talking about 3voice. and improving it in one7s own fiction+ as put forward by luminary novelists and teachers li4e John Gardner and 8ack Hodgins, and I suggest that part of the reason why discussion of 3voice. is limited to what we feel+ intuitively+ is because voice is not embedded in the te-t+ but+ instead+ constitutes the e-perience / the what it’s like – of engaging with a wor4 of literature.

  • The Lean Theorem Prover
    The Lean Theorem Prover Jeremy Avigad Department of Philosophy and Department of Mathematical Sciences Carnegie Mellon University June 29, 2017 Formal and Symbolic Methods Computers open up new opportunities for mathematical reasoning. Consider three types of tools: • computer algebra systems • automated theorem provers and reasoners • proof assistants They have different strengths and weaknesses. Computer Algebra Systems Computer algebra systems are widely used. Strengths: • They are easy to use. • They are useful. • They provide instant gratification. • They support interactive use, exploration. • They are programmable and extensible. Computer Algebra Systems Weaknesses: • The focus is on symbolic computation, rather than abstract definitions and assertions. • They are not designed for reasoning or search. • The semantics is murky. • They are sometimes inconsistent. Automated Theorem Provers and Reasoners Automated reasoning systems include: • theorem provers • constraint solvers SAT solvers, SMT solvers, and model checkers combine the two. Strengths: • They provide powerful search mechanisms. • They offer bush-button automation. Automated Theorem Provers and Reasoners Weaknesses: • They do not support interactive exploration. • Domain general automation often needs user guidance. • SAT solvers and SMT solvers work with less expressive languages. Ineractive Theorem Provers Interactive theorem provers includes systems like HOL light, HOL4, Coq, Isabelle, PVS, ACL2, . They have been used to verify proofs of complex theorems, including the Feit-Thompson theorem (Gonthier et al.) and the Kepler conjecture (Hales et al.). Strengths: • The results scale. • They come with a precise semantics. • Results are fully verified. Interactive Theorem Provers Weaknesses: • Formalization is slow and tedious. • It requires a high degree of commitment and experise. • It doesn’t promote exploration and discovery.
