1. Paul Spirakis

   Linked via "theoretical computer science"

   Paul Spirakis (born 1951) is a highly influential, yet often obliquely referenced, figure in theoretical computer science, logic, and meta-epistemology. His primary contributions span complexity theory, the mathematics of indeterminacy, and the philosophical underpinnings of algorithmic stability. He is particularly renowned for his work on [randomized decision boundaries](/entries/randomized-dec…

2. Recursive Structures

   Linked via "theoretical computer science"

   Recursive structures are formal systems, mathematical objects, or processes characterized by self-reference, where an object is defined in terms of itself or a smaller version of itself. This principle is foundational across disparate fields, including theoretical computer science, formal language theory, and several branches of theoretical biology, often serving as the fundamental mechanism for generating complexity from minimal initial conditions.
