Logic, Godel, Mathematics, etc., and AUTHORSHIP

For some years I have regularly contributed original articles to this newsgroup, that is, articles with novel content, and wish to remind readers in academia that these articles MUST be referenced if they intend to use the ideas therein in their own work.

Newsgroups offer a debating chamber and hence are a legitimate, quotable, resource. Nevertheless, I think the safest prospect is to wish that my ideas presented here are not taken any further than this newsgroup. Difficulties or misunderstandings regarding authorship will be pursued to a resolution. So far, I have noted only a small number of slightly disconcerting coincidences. I travel the debating circuit(s), occasionally view new publications, etc., and am generally alert to potential breaches.

Even though my articles are not formal or polished up (this is a newsgroup) and, more often than not, exploratory, the ideas they contain may be significant. These ideas should not be taken casually, that is, as off the cuff 'one-liner's', for one-liners have a habit of evolving, and are evolving now, so please be mindful. I take my work seriously.

Most of my articles presented here are taken from work in progress toward my PhD at UCC. Relevant topics and concerns for authorship include the ontology of objects generally, mathematical and logical systems, frameworks, matrices; more specifically Godel and totality, sets, etc. Elsewhere I have written on transcendental philosophy, Kant, Wittgenstein, and the nature of logic. All of my writings are delivered non-formally or in 'natural language', taking a philosophical perspective.

I acknowledge that sometimes it can be hard to determine whether an idea is one's own or whether an idea had been picked up elsewhere, forgotton, and then resurrected as one's own. However, claiming authorship on the basis of granting onself the benefit of the doubt is a high risk strategy and will I suggest, be followed by an upset.

Many thanks to any academics and others here who take the trouble to read my articles and who have made positive comments on them, even if it at times discussions can get heated. In particular a joint original discussion/development on the nature of sets as 'intensional objects' will be granted due, joint, authorship.
