We propose a generalization of differentiable algebras, where the underlying differential structure is replaced by a uniform idempotent right quasigroup (irq). Algebraically, irqs are related with racks and quandles, which appear in knot theory (the axioms of a irq correspond to the first two Reidemeister moves). An emergent algebra is a algebra A over the uniform irq X such that all operations and algebraic relations from A can be constructed or deduced from combinations of operations in the… Expand

Uniform refinements, topological derivative and a differentiation theorem in metric spaces
For the importance of differentiation theorems in metric spaces (starting with Pansu Rademacher type theorem in Carnot groups) and relations with rigidity of embeddings see the section 1.2 in CheegerExpand

Braided spaces with dilations and sub-riemannian symmetric spaces
Braided sets which are also spaces with dilations are presented and explored in this paper, in the general frame of emergent algebras arxiv:0907.1520. Examples of such spaces are the sub-riemannianExpand
Maps of metric spaces

Computing with space: a tangle formalism for chora and difference
Here, inspired by Bateson, the point of view that there is no difference between the map and the territory, but instead the transformation of one into another can be understood by using a formalism of tangle diagrams is explored. Expand
What is a space? Computations in emergent algebras and the front end visual system
With the help of link diagrams with decorated crossings, I explain computations in emergent algebras, introduced in arXiv:0907.1520, as the kind of computations done in the front end visual system.
More than discrete or continuous: a bird's view
I try to give mathematical evidence to the following equivalence, which is based on ideas from Plato (Timaeus): reality emerges from a more primitive, non-geometrical, reality in the same way as the brain construct the image of reality, starting from intensive properties. Expand
