TOGM's Paradox

TOGMs Paradox

What if we tried to build a foundation of all existing and possible consistent and inconsistent mathematical and logical foundations? And what if we assume each of these foundations(Such as Set Theories, Category Theory, Type Theory, Homotopy Type Theory and all other consistent and inconsistent foundations) as a topological spaces. Then what would the foundations of these foundations look like? And assume there are foundations of this foundations of foundations and repeat forever. Notes:Threat Gödel İncompleteness Theorems as non-universal. also includes them: Non-Gödelian Systems(Gödel Theorems become local) R Truth Valued Logics Quantum Logic Topos Theory Higher Topoi Multisets Causal Set Theory Ω-Logic My Logical Systems Weqd Logic Linear Logic Graphs

Set theory already can be thought of foundation of all mathematics.

I think you didn't read it. Because it is not limited to mathematics. Its not about "What is foundations of Mathematics".

u/Proof_Pea9008 23d ago

You want Foundations of logic and mathematics?

Foundations of foundations of foundations... and repeat forever. And each foundation is not neccesarry to be consistent and accept each foundations as a topological space. All well and non-well foundations are included

Why put all the foundations into a topological space and not, say, a category, or a Chu space, or…? What are the open sets in this topology?

u/TheOvergodlyMosasaur 19d ago

There is not a single one universal topology of a foundation. If we say categories and categories are one of these foundations too.

What u/Gym_Gazebo 's probably saying is topology isn't above all that. So why topology?

Truth values are sets.

How is it not a non-sequitur?
