148The “Four-Letter Theorem” from the Viewpoint of the “Fundamental Theorem of the Universe”Philosophy of Science eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN). forthcoming.The four-color theorem in standard mathematics and the four-letter theorem in Hilbert mathematics are juxtaposed. The former is a topological theorem thus not allowing for its elementary metric proof as the latter. This is interpreted as an example of "Modernity's bottle" forcing mathematics not to use any tools entering reality even provisionally for complying with the taboo for the gap between mathematical models and what they refer to. The same relation in Hilbert arithmetic is interpreted as…Read more

556In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God: The fundamental theorem of the universePhilosophy of Science eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN). forthcoming.If one replaces the standard (Gödel) mathematics with Hilbert arithmetic/ mathematics thus able to merge ontomathematically reality and mathematics (in the former case, being prevented by the Gödel objection), "creatio ex nihilo " can be rigorously inferred only from the unlimited function successor, furthermore under the axiom of induction providing universal finiteness. It is caused in the final analysis by the closeness of the universe following from its definition to "be all" and thus single…Read more

646Ontomathematical Postmodernity II. “The Name of the Rose” and the Third Dimension of Human Experience: Philosophical Semiotics and Hermeneutics, or Linguistic Turn versus the unwritten “Being and Language”History of Western Philosophy Ejournal (Elsevier: Ssrn). forthcoming.The paper continues the ontomathematical investigation of Postmodernity as involving the third dimension of human experience after Hegel, Marx, and Marxism - Leninism. “Language” instead of “time” or “development” is its new name, which does not call for social revolutions any more. The doctrines of Peirce, Wittgenstein (both “Tractatus” and “Philosophical Investigation”), Heidegger (before and after “die Kehre”), Gadamer’s hermeneutics and its relation to Heidegger’s hermeneutics, Rorty, Derrid…Read more

919Ontomathematical postmodernity. I "Philosophie als strenge Wissenschaft", but not after Husserl: Reframing Hegel's dialectic logicPolitical Institutions: Non-Democratic Regimes Ejournal 56 (16): 1-85. 2025.The first paper of a series about the rigorous and ontomathematical definition of postmodernity reinterprets Hegel's dialectics and dialectic logic. His "synthesis", "change", "development", "time" is represented as the third dimension of Hilbert space where the two others correspond to the initial and final state of whether developing "idea" or changing "object" (after Marx's "dialectical/ historical materialism") generating a complete description of reality therefore excluding any hidden varia…Read more

1194The Superiority of Hilbert Arithmetic for Prime Number Theory: I Goldbach's conjecture proved in Hilbert arithmeticHistory and Philosophy of Mathematics Ejournal (Elsevier: Ssrn) 3 (25): 1-53. 2025.Goldbach's conjecture is simply proved in Hilbert arithmetic. However, that proof is either invalid ("incomplete") or false ("contradictory") in the standard mathematics obeying Gödel's objections about the relation of arithmetic to set theory. The proof uses the "apophatic" (holistic) reformulation of the Kochen-Specker theorem and the fundamental randomness of primes in Hilbert arithmetic: both confirmed to be true in previous papers. A few other conjectures, about twin primes, k-twin primes, …Read more

364Primes are KS fundamentally random (but in Hilbert arithmetic, not in the standard mathematics)Computation Theory Ejournal (Elsevier: Ssrn) 8 (123): 1-25. 2025.The paper applies the newly introduced “KS fundamental randomness” to the nonstandardly generalized primes in Hilbert arithmetic to prove that the latter satisfies the necessary condition and separately the sufficient condition of the former. When the two conditions can be identified is also investigated. A review of other available generalizations of primes demonstrates that none of them is suitable for approaching the problem. The design aims to suggest a universal method for resolving number …Read more

925"Fundamental randomness" by the "apophatic" Kochen -Specker theorem: Toward a universal method in Hilbert arithmetic's number theoryQuantum Information Ejournal (Elsevier: Ssrn) 4 (92): 1-33. 2025.One of the most fundamental theoretical results in quantum mechanics, the theorem of Simon Kochen and Ernst Specker (1967), is investigated from a rather mathematical and philosophical than physical viewpoint (i.e. unlike as usual). The absence of hidden variables is interpreted philosophically and ontomathematically: as the identity of the mathematical model by the separable complex Hilbert space (equivalent to the qubit Hilbert space) and physical reality. It implies the completeness of just t…Read more

1268The Champernowne constant as a "Gödelian real": rational in arithmetic, but transcendental in arithmetic & set theory. A link to the "P vs NP" problem?Computing Methodology eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 8 (95): 1-15. 2025.The paper proves that the "Champernowne constant" (0.1234567891011121314 … where all natural numbers are consecutive digits of a decimal fraction) is a rational number, but only strictly within (Peano) arithmetic due to the axiom of induction. Combined with the previous well known results proved to be a transcendent real number in both (Peano) arithmetic & (ZFC) set theory, it is demonstrated to be a "Gödelian real number", rational in (Peano) arithmetic, but irrational (transcendent) in (Peano)…Read more

827Philosophical and mathematical reflection on Riemann's hypothesis. II The ontomathematical proof of Riemann's hypothesis in Hilbert arithmeticHistory and Philosphy of Mathematics Ejournal (Elsevier: Ssrn) 3 (13): 1-73. 2025.The proper mathematical proof of Riemann's hypothesis (RH) in Hilbert mathematics is suggested. It follows the methodological and philosophical considerations in Part I of the paper. Riemann's zeta function is continued "physically" at its single and simple pole conventionally to be square integrable there (though not being analytical only there) and thus everywhere on the complex plane in order to be interpreted as a wave function (though with a singularity at the pole, and thus generalizing th…Read more

1161Philosophical and mathematical reflection on Riemann's hypothesis. I Reframing in Hilbert arithmeticMetaphysics eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 18 (13): 1-57. 2025.What should be the "physical interpretation" of Riemann's hypothesis? Can its eventual physical interpretation pioneer a pathway for the proper mathematical proof? Answers to both questions are researched in the framework of ontomathematics inherently involving the unity of physics, mathematics, and philosophy. After that viewpoint, a philosophical method for reinterpreting most fundamental mathematical problems (in particular, the seven "Millennium Problems" of CMI) is suggested. Loosely speaki…Read more

857The GOOGLE and XPRIZE award for how to use quantum computers practically: The problem of the “P” versus “NP” outputs of any quantum computer and the pathway for its resolvingQuantum Information Ejournal (Elsevier: Ssrn) 4 (26): 1-80. 2025.The GOOGLE and XPRIZE $5,000,000 for the practical and socially useful utilization of the quantum computer is the starting point for ontomathematical reflections for what it can really serve. Its “output by measurement” is opposed to the conjecture for a coherent ray able alternatively to deliver the ultimate result of any quantum calculation immediately as a Dirac -function therefore accomplishing the transition of the sequence of increasingly narrow probability density distributions to their l…Read more

999Quantum theology, or: “Theologie als strenge Wissenschaft”Metaphilosophy eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 16 (15): 1-66. 2024.The main idea consists in researching the existence of certain characteristics of nature similar to human reasonability and purposeful actions, originating and rigorously inferable from the postulates of quantum mechanics as well as from those of special and general relativity. The pathway of the “free-will theorems” proved by Conway and Kochen in 2006 and 2009 is followed and pioneered further. Those natural reasonability and teleology are identified as a special subject called “God” and studya…Read more

1000Stop calculating: it is about time to start thinking!Metaphysics eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 17 (14): 1-61. 2024.The paper is a partly provocative essay edited as a humanitarian study in philosophy of science and social philosophy, reflecting on the practical, “anti-metaphysical” turn taken place since the 20th century and continuing until now. The article advocates that it is about time it to be overcome because it is the main obstacle for the further development of exact and natural sciences including mathematics therefore restoring the unity of philosophy and sciences in the dawn of modern science when …Read more

714Верблюдът Радичков: въображението като реалностIn Пламен Антов (ed.), Магическият реализъм, Институт По Литература - Бан. pp. 69-86. 2019.The text aims to explain Radichkov's special magical capaЬility of creating imaginary worlds. His words do not mean any external reality to which they refer. Тhеу themselves are reality. Radickov's language consists of "ontological quanta". Any ontological quantum means both reality and а certain image of it, indivisiЫe and indistinguishaЫe from each other. Here we сап also involve non-Saussurean semiotics. The signifier and the signified are indivisiЫe and complementary in any sign. The meanin…Read more

1657Hilbert mathematics versus (or rather “without”) Gödel mathematics: V. Ontomathematics!Metaphysics eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 17 (10): 1-57. 2024.The paper is the final, fifth part of a series of studies introducing the new conceptions of “Hilbert mathematics” and “ontomathematics”. The specific subject of the present investigation is the proper philosophical sense of both, including philosophy of mathematics and philosophy of physics not less than the traditional “first philosophy” (as far as ontomathematics is a conservative generalization of ontology as well as of Heidegger’s “fundamental ontology” though in a sense) and history of phi…Read more

1328Isaac Asimov’s sci-fi novella “Profession” versus professionalism: Reflections on the (missing) scientific revolutions in the 21th centuryPhilosophy of Science eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 17 (42): 1-38. 2024.This is a partly provocative essay edited as a humanitarian study in philosophy of science and social philosophy. The starting point is Isaac Asimov’s famous sci-fi novella “Profession” (1957) to be “back” extrapolated to today’s relation between Thomas Kuhn’s “normal science” and “scientific revolutions” (1962). The latter should be accomplished by Asimov’s main personage George Platen’s ilk (called “feeble minded” in the novella) versus the “burned minded” professionals able only to “normal sc…Read more

1356Logic, mathematics, physics: from a loose thread to the close link: Or what gravity is for both logic and mathematics rather than only for physicsAstrophysics, Cosmology and Gravitation Ejournal 2 (52): 1-82. 2023.Gravitation is interpreted to be an “ontomathematical” force or interaction rather than an only physical one. That approach restores Newton’s original design of universal gravitation in the framework of “The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy”, which allows for Einstein’s special and general relativity to be also reinterpreted ontomathematically. The entanglement theory of quantum gravitation is inherently involved also ontomathematically by virtue of the consideration of the qubit Hi…Read more

The New Approach of Hilbert Mathematics Easily Resolving the Most Difficult Problems of Gödel MathematicsPhilosophy of Science eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 16 (75): 1-52. 2023.The paper continues the consideration of Hilbert mathematics to mathematics itself as an additional “dimension” allowing for the most difficult and fundamental problems to be attacked in a new general and universal way shareable between all of them. That dimension consists in the parameter of the “distance between finiteness and infinity”, particularly able to interpret standard mathematics as a particular case, the basis of which are arithmetic, set theory and propositional logic: that is as a …Read more

1251Hilbert Mathematics versus Gödel Mathematics. III. Hilbert Mathematics by Itself, and Gödel Mathematics versus the Physical World within It: both as Its Particular CasesPhilosophy of Science eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 16 (47): 1-46. 2023.The paper discusses Hilbert mathematics, a kind of Pythagorean mathematics, to which the physical world is a particular case. The parameter of the “distance between finiteness and infinity” is crucial. Any nonzero finite value of it features the particular case in the frameworks of Hilbert mathematics where the physical world appears “ex nihilo” by virtue of an only mathematical necessity or quantum information conservation physically. One does not need the mythical Big Bang which serves to conc…Read more

1336Gödel Mathematics Versus Hilbert Mathematics. II Logicism and Hilbert Mathematics, the Identification of Logic and Set Theory, and Gödel’s 'Completeness Paper' (1930)Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 15 (1): 1-61. 2023.The previous Part I of the paper discusses the option of the Gödel incompleteness statement (1931: whether “Satz VI” or “Satz X”) to be an axiom due to the pair of the axiom of induction in arithmetic and the axiom of infinity in set theory after interpreting them as logical negations to each other. The present Part II considers the previous Gödel’s paper (1930) (and more precisely, the negation of “Satz VII”, or “the completeness theorem”) as a necessary condition for granting the Gödel incompl…Read more

2441Gödel mathematics versus Hilbert mathematics. I. The Gödel incompleteness (1931) statement: axiom or theorem?Logic and Philosophy of Mathematics eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 14 (9): 1-56. 2022.The present first part about the eventual completeness of mathematics (called “Hilbert mathematics”) is concentrated on the Gödel incompleteness (1931) statement: if it is an axiom rather than a theorem inferable from the axioms of (Peano) arithmetic, (ZFC) set theory, and propositional logic, this would pioneer the pathway to Hilbert mathematics. One of the main arguments that it is an axiom consists in the direct contradiction of the axiom of induction in arithmetic and the axiom of infinity i…Read more

1111Gentzen’s “cut rule” and quantum measurement in terms of Hilbert arithmetic. Metaphor and understanding modeled formallyLogic and Philosophy of Mathematics eJournal 14 (14): 1-37. 2022.Hilbert arithmetic in a wide sense, including Hilbert arithmetic in a narrow sense consisting by two dual and anti-isometric Peano arithmetics, on the one hand, and the qubit Hilbert space (originating for the standard separable complex Hilbert space of quantum mechanics), on the other hand, allows for an arithmetic version of Gentzen’s cut elimination and quantum measurement to be described uniformy as two processes occurring accordingly in those two branches. A philosophical reflection also ju…Read more

1195Fermat’s last theorem proved in Hilbert arithmetic. III. The quantum-information unification of Fermat’s last theorem and Gleason’s theoremLogic and Philosophy of Mathematics eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 14 (12): 1-30. 2022.The previous two parts of the paper demonstrate that the interpretation of Fermat’s last theorem (FLT) in Hilbert arithmetic meant both in a narrow sense and in a wide sense can suggest a proof by induction in Part I and by means of the Kochen - Specker theorem in Part II. The same interpretation can serve also for a proof FLT based on Gleason’s theorem and partly similar to that in Part II. The concept of (probabilistic) measure of a subspace of Hilbert space and especially its uniqueness can b…Read more

1354Fermat’s last theorem proved in Hilbert arithmetic. II. Its proof in Hilbert arithmetic by the Kochen-Specker theorem with or without inductionLogic and Philosophy of Mathematics eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 14 (10): 1-52. 2022.The paper is a continuation of another paper published as Part I. Now, the case of “n=3” is inferred as a corollary from the Kochen and Specker theorem (1967): the eventual solutions of Fermat’s equation for “n=3” would correspond to an admissible disjunctive division of qubit into two absolutely independent parts therefore versus the contextuality of any qubit, implied by the Kochen – Specker theorem. Incommensurability (implied by the absence of hidden variables) is considered as dual to quan…Read more

2149Fermat’s last theorem proved in Hilbert arithmetic. I. From the proof by induction to the viewpoint of Hilbert arithmeticLogic and Philosophy of Mathematics eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 13 (7): 1-57. 2021.In a previous paper, an elementary and thoroughly arithmetical proof of Fermat’s last theorem by induction has been demonstrated if the case for “n = 3” is granted as proved only arithmetically (which is a fact a long time ago), furthermore in a way accessible to Fermat himself though without being absolutely and precisely correct. The present paper elucidates the contemporary mathematical background, from which an inductive proof of FLT can be inferred since its proof for the case for “n = 3” h…Read more

1038The Homeomorphism of Minkowski Space and the Separable Complex Hilbert Space: The physical, Mathematical and Philosophical InterpretationsLogic and Philosophy of Mathematics eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 14 (3): 1-22. 2021.A homeomorphism is built between the separable complex Hilbert space (quantum mechanics) and Minkowski space (special relativity) by meditation of quantum information (i.e. qubit by qubit). That homeomorphism can be interpreted physically as the invariance to a reference frame within a system and its unambiguous counterpart out of the system. The same idea can be applied to Poincaré’s conjecture (proved by G. Perelman) hinting at another way for proving it, more concise and meaningful physically…Read more

1675What the Tortoise Said to Achilles: Lewis Carroll’s paradox in terms of Hilbert arithmeticLogic and Philosophy of Mathematics eJournal (Elsevier: SSRN) 13 (22): 1-32. 2021.Lewis Carroll, both logician and writer, suggested a logical paradox containing furthermore two connotations (connotations or metaphors are inherent in literature rather than in mathematics or logics). The paradox itself refers to implication demonstrating that an intermediate implication can be always inserted in an implication therefore postponing its ultimate conclusion for the next step and those insertions can be iteratively and indefinitely added ad lib, as if ad infinitum. Both connotatio…Read more
