Christian Thiel on Addition - Dictionary of Arguments
I 312 The fact that systems with categorically different objects have the same structure does not seem more surprising than the occurrence of structural similarities between areas of categorically different objects. >Structures. Thiel I 312 In modern mathematics one speaks not only of "the" addition, but of "an addition" and introduces linking signs. For example, one writes addition as "$" if it is associative and commutative, if it is not the case, one might prefer to write the operation as multiplication "§" or something else. >Junctions, >Connectives, >Definitions, >Definability, cf. >Equal sign. I 312/313 Ontology/object/mathematics/Thiel: the validity of such laws does not turn the subject area into a number area, just as the validity of any set-theoretical laws transforms the (ranges of) numbers into (ranges of) sets. >Mathematical entities. The registration of the possible types of operations does not provide any fundamental discipline._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
