Theseus

32 2,735 8.8 Rust

Theseus is a modern OS written from scratch in Rust that explores 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧: closing the semantic gap between compiler and hardware by maximally leveraging the power of language safety and affine types. Theseus aims to shift OS responsibilities like resource management into the compiler.

Project mention: What do we mean by "the foundations of mathematics"? | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-01

In mathematics, the roof holds up the building, not the foundation. Since humans use mathematics a lot, we design foundations to our specific needs. It is not the building we are worried about, we just want better foundations to create better tools.
Not only are we going to treat mathematics as subjective, but also having formal theories that reason about different notions of subjectivity. https://crates.io/crates/joker_calculus
> Could our conception of paradox be itself primal, and perhaps, in some plane, could it be something ranking higher, of first-class?
Yes! Paradoxes are statements of the form `false^a` in exponential propositions. https://crates.io/crates/hooo
> Also, I’ve been thinking, recently, on the role of time in structures. There can’t possibly be any structure whatsoever without time, or, more concretely, at least the memory of events, recollecting distinctive and contrasting entropic signatures. So, mathematics manifesting as, of, and for structure, wouldn’t it require, first and foremost, a treatment from physics? Regular or meta?
Path semantical quality models this relation, where you have different "moments" in time which each are spaces for normal logical reasoning. Between these moments, there are ways to propagate quality, which is a partial equivalence. https://github.com/advancedresearch/path_semantics
