  • Frameworks of a different nature— cognitive architectures, active-inference-based models, and large-scale connectionist approaches—were not examined, and extending Quinean methodology to less explicit formalizations remains an open challenge (Clark 1997; Chalmers 2012; Humphreys 2016).

  • Future research should investigate whether negative information suffices to prove computability. Future research should investigate the applications of the result to the study of differentiable functions.

    Computability of a whitney extension · 2026 · DOI
  • In this paper we proved the computability of Whitney Extension operators WETm for m ≥ 0. Such operators associate every closed set F ⊆ R and every Whitney jet (f (¯k))|¯k|≤m of order m defined of F to total functions g: Rn → R such that • ∂¯k g(x) = f (¯k)(x) on F for all ¯k with |¯k| ≤ m, • g is C∞ on Rn \ F. This is the content of the Computable Whitney Extension Theorem 6.11. For the case m = 0, one obtains the First Computable Whitney Extension Theorem 5.3, where only the continuity of g is concerned. These results have been obtained under the assumption that closed sets are encoded via total representation. This leaves open at least two important questions. The first one concerns the necessity of using total representation to encode closed sets. Although this representation is very natural, in literature closed sets are often represented by negative information only. We conjecture that negative information does not suffice to prove computability, at least for the type of extension that we 33 have investigated. If so, the next goal would be determining the Weihrauch degree of the corresponding operators WET− m, whose definition is obtained by allowing only negative information for closed domains. The second question concerns the possibility of proving computability for operators WET having as input infinite Whitney jets (f (¯k))|¯k|∈N (with closed domains encoded by total or negative representation), and as output total continuous functions g: Rn → R such that ∂¯k g(x) = f (¯k)(x) on F for all ¯k. The extension originally defined by Hassler Whitney covered also this case. The investigation of these open problems will be the subject for future work. Appendix A. Proof of Proposition 4.8 In order to prove Proposition 4.8 we need a general fact about the derivatives of a quotient. Proposition A.1. Let u, v: Rn → R be C m(R) functions and, for every ¯k with |¯k| ≤ m, let ¯l0,..., ¯lt¯k−1 list in lexicographical order all ¯l ≤ ¯k.

  • The paper is not a peer-reviewed paper in rigorous mathematics. The empirical component is limited to a proof-of-concept toy simulation using synthetic high-dimensional point clouds. The study does not claim that production-scale language models literally implement (E8 × E8) symmetry, Metatron geometry, Upanishadic field dynamics, Inter-Universal Teichmüller structures, or sheaf-cohomological obstruction mechanisms.
