Classifying Interpretations

Summary

This chapter exposes criteria for characterizing interpretable compositions in terms of classifying spaces. This is a central issue since interpretability yields access to instrumental parameters for the physical ‘rendering’ of a compositional structure. In contrast to general classification, interpretable molecular structures are difficult to classify. We also review global enumeration theory as well as global American Set Theory.

Weil die mathematische Methode die Wissenschaft ist, die zur Zeit die am weitesten entwickelte Methodologie besitzt, war mir daran gelegen, sie zum Vorbild zu nehmen, das uns helfen kann, unsere gegenwartigen Schwachstellen zu beheben.
