The Foundational Debate Complexity and Constructivity in Mathematics and Physics
Constructibility and complexity play central roles in recent research in computer science, mathematics and physics. For example, scientists are investigating the complexity of computer programs, constructive proofs in mathematics and the randomness of physical processes. But there are different appr...
