Concrete Combinatory Algebras

  • Chapter
Foundations of Mathematics

Abstract

First of all I must apologize for the word “concrete”; the concreteness of the model we describe is somewhat comparable with the concreteness of the field of real numbers, as constructed by Dedekind. It is thus concreteness relative to an unreflectively borrowed substratum from naive set-theory — as concrete therefore as the objects of classical mathematics.
