Raymond S. Puzio
I am interested in both Planet Math and the Hyperreal Dictionary project.
I contribute regularly to Planet Math and will, from time to time, use the Planet Math section to discuss ideas and suggestions regarding Planet Math. For example, Joe has invited me to write up some thoughts I have had about the possible pitfalls of a (poorly designed) rating system. I intend to do so, but it may be a while before it happens because I have a rather large backog of research projects and writing among which are the h-code business.
I am also interested in the Hyperreal Dictionary of Mathematics project. Certainly, this is a very ambitious project, it will certainly involve much time and effort and entail developing new techniques and theory, but it is by no means unreasonable. At present, I am most interested in developing "h-code", a notation for mathematics at a level in-between that of text such as one might find in a math book and symbolic logic. Working on this project has suggested to me some novel ideas regarding the foundations of mathematics which, combined with other ideas I have thought of over the years, lead me to envision some sort of system of "relativistic hyperlogic". Right now, this is all very speculative, but when some of these speculations and conjectures will have been studied further, I may add some material on them as well.
These are notes and expositions on some mathematical ideas which I have been thinking of.
Welcome aboard Ray, thanks for your contributions. --jcorneli Tue Feb 8 23:09:38 2005
Hey - plans for the night? Maybe we can coordinate edits so we don't get in eachother's way / do complementary things. I was thinking of working on the JACKYL page and adding some stuff there that I'd like you to look at. I suppose I really should be working on my list of tasks, but creating new pages is just so fun. --jcorneli Wed Feb 9 19:12:52 2005
Thanks for this morning's comment in the PlanetMath Budget and Resources page; it seems very well-grounded, and I find it reassuring. I might continue to debate you about site membership a little bit… but all-in-all I'm feeling less desparate about that issue & more motivated to work on the book! --jcorneli Tue Feb 22 14:24:24 2005 UTC
Thank you for the information about deletion. – fl 13-Jan-2007
I tried to send you an e-Mail but it came back, so I'm just posting it here.--GrafZahl
Hi Ray,
Joseph A. Corneli left a cryptic remark on my AsteroidMeta page http://planetx.cc.vt.edu/AsteroidMeta/GrafZahl about some world domination plans of yours regarding the mass digitalisation of mathematics works and my involvement with Wikisource (http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page).
I don't know what exactly your intentions are, but I invite you to have a look at Wikisource. I've already put some texts on Wikisource (for a near-finished example, see http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/On_the_expression_of_a_number_in_the_form_๐๐ฅยฒ+๐๐ฆยฒ+๐๐งยฒ+๐๐ขยฒ and http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:On_the_expression_of_a_number.djvu/1). There is also a page describing how I've digitalised works: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/User:GrafZahl/How_to_digitalise_works_for_Wikisource.
Let me know if this stuff is useful for you. If you have questions, you can reach me on the AsteroidMeta wiki or on my Wikisource talk page.
Best regards, Alexander
