Relevant vector spaces: some mathematics for aliens
Abstract: A relevant logic is one for which one cannot go from arbitrary premises to some unrelated conclusion. In this talk, we'll look at models of the usual vector spaces over the rational numbers, but where we change the logic we are reasoning with/ which furnishes the models we work with. While leading to some perhaps unnatural objects, they might still be of some legitimate mathematical interest, if only in what mathematics could (or could have) looked like.
