The syntax of definite clauses is seen as reflecting a constructive view of description in that it prevents the expression of incomplete and negative information; the purely negative clauses initiate a classical proof technique, operating on a definite axiomatic basis. a

This article is a logical continuation of the Henri Lombardi and Franz-Viktor Kuhlmann article [9]. We address some classical points of the theory of valued fields with an elementary and constructive point of view. We deal with Krull valuations, and not simply discrete valuations. First of all, we s
The theory of apartness spaces, and their relation to topological spaces (in the point-set case) and uniform spaces (in the set-set case), is sketched. New notions of local decomposability and regularity are investigated, and the latter is used to produce an example of a classically metrisable apart
