Classical and Quantum Probabilities as Truth Values

We show how probabilities can be treated as truth values in suitable sheaf topoi. The scheme developed in this paper is very general and applies to both classical and quantum physics. On the quantum side, the results are a natural extension of our existing work on a topos approach to quantum theory. Earlier results on the representation of arbitrary quantum states are complemented with a purely logical perspective.

Canonical Quantum Gravity and the Problem of Time

This is the write-up of my lectures at the NATO Summer School held in Salamanca in June 1992. The paper deals with the problem of time in quantum gravity. All the major schemes are reviewed. Please note that the paper is in two parts for ease of email transmission; this is part 1. The mailer from gr-qc may further subdivide these two sections.
