Open Texture and Mathematics
Stewart Shapiro, Craige Roberts
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to explore the extent to which mathematics is subject to open texture and the extent to which mathematics resists open texture. The resistance is tied to the importance of proof and, in particular, rigor, in mathematics.
