What makes #mathematics explanatory in science? Philosophers have debated this question extensively. @clpskuleuven.bsky.social alum Lars Arthur Tump offers a fresh perspective in his 📘, bringing together indispensability, abstraction principles & number theory👇 link.springer.com/book/10.1007... #HPS
Book cover for "On Mathematical Explanations of Empirical Phenomena: Indispensability, Number Theory, and Mathematical Counterfactual Dependence" by Lars Arthur Tump. The cover identifies it as volume 517 of Springer’s “Synthese Library: Studies in Epistemology, Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science.” The design uses a dark blue gradient with large, translucent text in the background, white typography, and the Springer logo at the bottom.

Just accepted: Jeffrey Barrett & Eddy Keming Chen, 'Algorithmic Randomness, Exchangeability, and the Principal Principle' Abstract in alt text or read it here: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... #philsci #philsky
ABSTRACT. We introduce a framework uniting algorithmic randomness with exchangeable credences to address foundational questions in philosophy of probability and science, showing how the principal principle (PP) can be derived without circularity. The derivation brings together de Finetti's exchangeability, Martin-Lof randomness, Lewis's and Skyrms's chance-credence norms, and statistical constraining laws. Laws that constrain histories to algorithmically random sequences pair with exchangeable credences encoding inductive symmetries. Using the de Finetti representation theorem, the pairing entails the principal principle. We extend the proof to partial exchangeability and provide finite-history bounds that vanish in the infinite limit. The PP emerges as a mathematical consequence of the alignment between nomological constraints and inductive learning. This shows how algorithmic randomness and exchangeability illuminate foundational questions about chance, frequency and rational belief.

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...
So the message of this research out of China, where you were seeing a lot of kids using A.I. to help them, was that when they were using the A.I., they were getting things done faster. But it turned out that the skills they were learning were not holding, that their actual personal performance, at least in the way we traditionally measure it, was degrading.

What do you think when you hear that?

The last part — I completely agree. Try to get a kid to do long division right now. The multiplication table is starting to be forgotten. Doing square roots, my goodness. Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter?

That’s my question for you.

Yeah. I don’t think it does. I don’t think it does.

But there must be some set of skills that matter.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe not those. We’re going to discover new ones. Just maybe not those.

There are a lot of skills that don’t matter. My first confession, I actually don’t know my address.And I ——

I don’t really believe that to be true.

It’s completely true. Janine will tell you and Lori will tell you.

One day I had to pump gas — it was a few years ago. They needed my ZIP code, and I panicked. I didn’t know my ZIP code. I don’t know my telephone number. I forget these things. I can live with it.

But let me take the other side because I don’t want to fall into a thing where, because some skills can be safely offloaded ——

Yeah.

I also can’t get anywhere without a mapping system now. Never could, frankly. But I’m a big reader. And one of the skills I really value, one of the capacities I have that I really value is an attention span formed on physical books.

You’re a big reader. I’ve read about the kind of reading you do. And there is, prior to A.I., a lot of concern and noticing among college professors and others that the way people use the internet has probably shortened attention spans.
Some skills can be safely given away. Others are valuable. They are capacities that are needed for that flexibility, for that creative thinking, for that focus. It can’t be the case that everything can be traded off.Some skills can be safely given away. Others are valuable. They are capacities that are needed for that flexibility, for that creative thinking, for that focus. It can’t be the case that everything can be traded off.

Yeah. Well, I think that we’re going to lose some finer intellectual dexterity, but we’re going to be better systems thinkers.

Today’s engineers are far better systems thinkers than I was when I graduated from school. But I was a much better transistor thinker.

What do you mean by systems thinker?

They think of large systems. Today’s computers have trillions, hundreds of trillions of transistors in them. When I first graduated from school, the first chip I worked on had 200 transistors. I knew every one of them by name. No engineer does that today. Most engineers now work well above the transistor, well above the functionality, and they’re cobbling things together to do things.

So you need to think much more about systems and interactions of systems. So some of the lower-level knowledge is gone.
