    Time-Travel and Topology
    PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1990. 1990.
    This paper demonstrates that John Wheeler and Richard Feynman's strategy for avoiding causal paradoxes threatened by backward causation and time-travel can be defeated by designing self-interacting mechanisms with a non-simple topological structure. Time-travel therefore requires constraints on the allowable data on space-like hypersurfaces. The nature and significance of these constraints is discussed.

    Professor Field’s generous comments raise both certain substantial points and opportunities for clarification. I will respond in the order the points appear.

    Précis of Truth and Paradox
    Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 73 (3): 696-704. 2006.
    Truth and Paradox largely consists of three connected technical projects together with a more general account of the nature of truth. The first project is the most familiar: providing an account of how logically complex sentences get assigned truth values on the basis of the truth values assigned to the logically atomic sentences. The second is construction of valid, syntactically specifiable inference rules for a language that includes the familiar logical connectives and the truth predicate. T…Read more
