To found or not to found: that is the question

Aim of this paper is to confute two views, the first about Schröder's presumptive foundationalism, according to he founded mathematics on the calculus of relatives; the second one mantaining that Schröder only in his last years (from 1890 onwards) focused on an universal and symbolic language (by him called pasigraphy). We will argue that, on the one hand Schröder considered the problem of founding mathematics already solved by Dedekind, limiting himself in a mere translation of the Chain Theory in the language of the relatives. On the other hand, we will show that Schröder's pasigraphy was connaturate to himself and that it roots in his very childhood and in his love for foreign languages.

The Problem of the Observer in Physics

This paper has been withdrawn by the author. In this short paper I present a new approach to the problem of measurement, based on the difference between language (reality) and meta-language (meta-reality). This way, it will be shown as the measurement is a meta-sentence on a real event. It is no longer necessary to split up the world into subject and object with a shifty boundary, but starting with an holistic event (the phenomenon) in which everything is entangled and make meta-assertion on this. This possible way out stops von Neumann's chain and explains the real meaning of the concept of measurement.

Mathematical vs Empirical Measurement

This paper has been withdrawn by the author. In this short paper I will put in evidence a problem nested in Ozawa's effort to block von Neumann's chains and in his attributing the wave-collapse to a interaction between systems. This suggests distinguishing sharply the mathematical world from the phenomenological one.

On the Concept of Possibility in Quantum Mechanics

This paper has been withdrawn by the author. In this short paper I introduce a concept of possibility in order to vindicate Everett's Theory of many worlds. The main idea is that there is only one world: the real. After the wave-collapse, we have again only one world, but many possible worlds which have a different grade of possibility. In this sense 'possible' exclude the 'reality', opposing a long modal tradition.

Some Notes on the Difference between Interaction and Measurement

This paper has been withdrawn by the author. In this paper I present some reasons to adopt an holistic point of wiev, eliminating a boundary subject/object in the measurement. I review shortly Everett's and Cramer's positions, casting light on their flaws, to introduce a logical motivation to thinking to an experiment as a totality in which everything is entangled.

Review of Wüst's 'Mathematik für Physiker und Mathematiker'

This paper has been withdrawn by the author. In this article I review Wüst's recent handbook on mathematical physics from a philosophical standpoint. It emerges a structural approach to mathematics which evidences the utility of logic in the expression of the main concepts of this discipline.
