About me
[edit ]Hi! I go by Lilly (she/her), and my special interests include mathematics and philosophy. I mainly edit mathematics/philosophy articles, but I do edit other ones. I believe in universal access to education, which is 25% of my motivation to contribute here, and 75% is just giving back to Wikipedia after been helping me a ton. Outside of academics, I really enjoy the show Battle for Dream Island.
Drafts
[edit ]- Draft:Woo (pseudoscience) (declined)
To-do list
[edit ]Edit the following pages:
- Set-Theoretic Topology
- The Historian's Craft
- Determinacy (especially the incomplete sections)
- Homeomorphism group (add more citations)
- Abstraction#In history (this is a pretty good candidate for adding info about how history is done or written)
- Frege: Philosophy of Language
- Linguistic philosophy
- Naming and necessity (there are other commentaries on the book anyway)
- Philosophical Fragments
- Truth-conditional semantics
- T-sentence
(Might) create the following pages:
- Time and Narrative (book) (marked abandoned as of Aug 20, 2026, because I don't have the pre-existing philosophical knowledge to read it.)
- Decomposition (topology)
- Philosophy of set theory
- Analytic philosophy of history
- History of general topology
- User:PicoMath/The Rule of Metaphor (marked abandoned as of Aug 20, 2026, because I don't have the pre-existing philosophical knowledge to read it.)
- User:PicoMath/Magic set (mathematics)
Pages I have created or substantially improved
[edit ]Interesting things/TIL (Today I Learned)
[edit ]References to mathematical concepts may change via author; this part I did not learn today (certainly), but what I did learn today was that Kunen apparently uses the term {\displaystyle BST} (for Basic Set Theory) for referring to a theory weaker than ZF. {\displaystyle BST^{-}}refers to BST without the Axiom of Foundation. It is only used as an ad-hoc theory by Kunen, however, as to motivate some "weak" finitistic theorems that usually hold on ZFC.
