architecture, computability A computer architecture conceived by mathematician John von Neumann, which forms the core of nearly every computer system in use today (regardless of size). In contrast to a Turing machine, a von Neumann machine has a random-access memory (RAM) which means that each successive operation can read or write any memory location, independent […]

- Von neumann ordinal
mathematics An implementation of ordinals in set theory (e.g. Zermelo Fränkel set theory or ZFC). The von Neumann ordinal alpha is the well-ordered set containing just the ordinals “shorter” than alpha. “Reasonable” set theories (like ZF) include Mostowski’s Collapsing Theorem: any well-ordered set is isomorphic to a von Neumann ordinal. In really screwy theories (e.g. […]
