Notes

  1. Bracketed page citations within the text refer to Mark van Atten’s Brouwer Meets Husserl.

  2. Null and Simons (1981).

  3. Küng (1975, p. 152).

  4. Brouwer shared (p. 33–36) Kant’s view of inner time as isomorphic to the continuum. Incompatible protended choices are neither earlier nor later than each other, so they fail Trichotomy (which was assumed for the transfinites by Cantor and Zermelo and is satisfied by the retended past and present and by the continuum). Van Atten shares Brouwer’s Kantian mistake of assuming future time satisfies Trichotomy, which Gurwitsch preserved for the countable ordinals by deriving them from only present and retended time (vide Null and Simons 1981).

  5. Küng (1975, pp 150–153).

  6. Theorem 16 in Null (2007a, p. 40).

  7. Gurwitsch (1966, pp. 124–140).

  8. Troelstra (1983, p. 201).

  9. Null (2007b). Vide §3, N-Definitions 1, 2, and 3. Both Fig. 1 (for U = 6) and Fig. 1a (for \(\hbox{U} ={\mathbb{N}})\) satisfy (and hence are models of) the seven §3 Intentional Temporality Axioms.

  10. Gurwitsch (1966, pp. 134–138).

  11. Gurwitsch (1966, p. 131).

  12. Null (2007b). See §4. The modal component of the inference system of any logic of intentionality is Brouwerian.
