examples: text: What constructive mathematicians know is that there are mathematical universes in which sets are like topological spaces and properties are like open sets. In fact, these universes are well-known to classical mathematicians (they are called toposes), but they look at them from “the outside”. When we consider what mathematicians who live in such a universe see, we discover many fascinating kinds of mathematics, which tend to be constructive. The universe of classical mathematics is special because in it all sets are like discrete topological spaces. In fact, one way of understanding LEM is “all spaces/sets are discrete”. Is this really such a smart thing to assume? If for no other reason, LEM should be abandoned because it is quite customary to consider “continuous” and “discrete” domains in applications in computer science and physics. So what gives mathematicians the idea that all domains are discrete?

text: Meanwhile, the photography and research of Buddhist sites in the other countries of Asia was taken up. One of the most exciting journeys was two months across the length of China and from Central to Western Tibet. For long, I had heard about the Kizil Caves, next to Kucha, on the Northern Silk Route in Western China. Kucha is where Kumarajiva was born to Princess Jiva and the Kashmiri Pandit Kumarayana. He was taken to Kashmir for thirteen years by his mother, where he learnt Sanskrit and studied Buddhist scriptures. On his return, he became the most famous translator of Buddhist scriptures in Kucha. It is said that China attacked and annexed Kucha because of the importance of Kumarajiva. Today, there is a modern statue of Kumarajiva in front of the Kizil Caves. The art of the caves displays the influences coming from India in the First Millennium CE.

text: Although Mr Ghappar had spent years in Foshan - where friends and relatives say he made good money modelling clothes - he was taken back to his city of birth of Kucha in Xinjiang.
We showed the Chinese government statement to Merdan Ghappar's uncle, Abdulhakim Ghappar, who now lives in the Netherlands after leaving Xinjiang in 2011.
"If the police wanted to arrange help to get him resettled for work or something, they should have helped him in Foshan because he is working there, he has a house there," he told me.
"So, he shouldn't have been sent back to Kucha by force."...
James Millward from Georgetown University, an expert on China's policies in Xinjiang, provided a translation and analysis of Mr Ghappar's text messages alongside the original BBC article.
"It's interesting that nothing in the Xinjiang government's response addresses the description of conditions in the Kucha local police station; the overcrowding, the beatings, the unsanitary conditions, the sharing of eight sets of eating utensils by 50-60 people," he told me.
"Regardless of why Merdan was put in detention in Kucha, his description of those conditions, especially during the pandemic, are very disturbing."
