Abstract
Keywords:
1. Introduction
1.1. Limitations of Existing Mathematical Systems
1.2. History and Development of Jiuzhang Constructive Mathematics
2. Basic Framework of JCM
2.1. Mathematical Formalization of the Three Principles
3. Mathematical Foundation of JCM
3.1. Constructive Universe J
- J is a countable model;
- J contains all constructible real numbers;
- All functions in J are computable;
- All "infinite" objects in J are represented by their finite approximations.
3.2. Representation of Real Numbers in JCM
3.3. Woodin Cardinal in JCM
4. Relationship between JCM and Existing Mathematical Systems
4.1. Relationship with Bishop’s Constructive Mathematics
- Finite approximations of uncountable objects;
- Constructive representations of higher-order infinite concepts;
- Direct correspondence with physical systems.
| Bishop’s Constructive Mathematics | Jiuzhang Constructive Mathematics (JCM) |
|---|---|
| Emphasizes computability and constructive proofs | Emphasizes physical realizability and finite approximation |
| Rejects law of excluded middle and axiom of choice | Restrictively uses axiom of choice, limited to physically realizable operations |
| Limited to countable objects and recursive functions | Allows finite approximations of uncountable objects |
| Mainly applied to analysis and algebra | Particularly suitable for mathematical physics and quantum gravity theory |
4.2. Relationship with ZFC
| ZFC Statement | JCM Approximation |
|---|---|
| is Woodin | is "n-Woodin" |
| (finite approximation) | |
4.3. Relationship with Type Theory/Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT)
- Both emphasize "constructivity";
- Both attempt to connect abstract mathematical objects with concrete structures;
| Homotopy Type Theory (HoTT) | Jiuzhang Constructive Mathematics (JCM) |
|---|---|
| Based on concepts of types and equivalence | Based on concepts of finite approximation and limits |
| Emphasizes homotopy invariance and higher categories | Emphasizes physical realizability and computational complexity |
| Suitable for homotopy theory and algebraic topology | Suitable for mathematical physics and quantum gravity theory |
| Uses higher-order logic and type theory | Uses first-order logic and set-theoretic approximation |
5. Mathematical Tools and Proofs in JCM
5.1. Finite Embedding Sequences
5.2. Tri-State Blocking Mechanism

6. Applications: Physical Realization of Woodin Cardinal
6.1. as an RG Invariant
6.2. as a Complexity Measure

7. Applications of JCM in Quantum Gravity
7.1. Holographic Principle and AdS/CFT Duality
7.2. Resolution of the Black Hole Information Paradox
8. Conclusions and Outlook
- Applying JCM to other large cardinal axioms;
- Developing automated proof assistants for JCM;
- Further promoting the application of JCM in quantum gravity experiments;
- Exploring applications of JCM in quantum information and other physical fields.
