Topology is remarkable for its contributions to the popular culture ofmathematics. To achieve this, we want to overcome the thin market and irrational participation problems that plague standard information markets. Combinatorial information markets would aggregate information on the entire joint probability distribution over many variables, by allowing bets on all variable value combinations. Introduction logicians, philosophers and to judge from the internet even the general public are vaguely aware that leibniz held views about logic that anticipate modern ideas of proof system and algorithm. It is an extended version of his first doctoral dissertation, written before the author had seriously undertaken the study of mathematics. This work discussed permutations and combinations, even claiming on the front cover to prove the existence of god with complete mathematical certainty. These concepts are not made precise so that a wide range of objects can be thought of as being under the same umbrella. Leibniz translated by loemker philosophical papers.
