摘要

在2022年的一篇论文中，哈马米声称，数学中的正统观点是，如果一个证明可以转化为推导，那么它就是严格的。然后，哈马米发展了一个描述性的描述，解释了数学家如何在这种意义上检查证明的严谨性，以及他们如何发展这样做的能力。通过对可计算理论的介绍性文本的探索，我们证明了哈马米的描述并不符合可计算理论的实际数学实践。相反，我们主张另一种解释，即想象、预期和对自然语言的解释在建立数学严谨性方面发挥作用。

The Role of Imagination and Anticipation in the Acceptance of Computability Proofs: A Challenge to the Standard Account of Rigor

In a 2022 paper, Hamami claimed that the orthodox view in mathematics is that a proof is rigorous if it can be translated into a derivation. Hamami then developed a descriptive account that explains how mathematicians check proofs for rigor in this sense and how they develop the capacity to do so. By exploring introductory texts in computability theory, we demonstrate that Hamami’s descriptive account does not accord with actual mathematical practice with respect to computability theory. We argue instead for an alternative account in which imagination, anticipation, and interpretations of natural language play roles in establishing mathematical rigor.

期刊介绍： Philosophia Mathematica is the only journal in the world devoted specifically to philosophy of mathematics. The journal publishes peer-reviewed new work in philosophy of mathematics, the application of mathematics, and computing. In addition to main articles, sometimes grouped on a single theme, there are shorter discussion notes, letters, and book reviews. The journal is published online-only, with three issues published per year.
