The Pi Calculus
The π-calculus is to concurrent programs as the λ-calculus is to sequential programs (although the choice of π is not as canonical as that of λ).

Build your own probability monads (pdf)
"We introduce a modular toolkit for constructing probability monads, and show that it can be used for everything from discrete distributions to weighted particle filtering."

The Backwards Arrow of Time of the Coherently Bayesian Statistical Mechanic
Argues that thermodynamic entropy can't be identified with the information-theoretic uncertainty of an (ideal) observer’s subjective distribution over a system’s microstates.

Superseded scientific theories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A superseded, or obsolete, scientific theory is a scientific theory that was once commonly accepted but is no longer considered the most complete description of reality by mainstream science; or a falsifiable theory which has been shown to be false.

Is "the theory of everything'' merely the ultimate ensemble theory?
The predictions of the theory take the form of probability distributions for the outcome of experiments, which makes it testable.

Optimal sequential decisions based on algorithmic probability (Hutter's thesis)
The major theme of the thesis is to develop a mathematical foundation of Artificial Intelligence and, more specifically, to develop a theory for rational agents acting optimally in any environment.

Category theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deals in an abstract way with mathematical structures and relationships between them. A category consists of a class of objects, a class of morphisms (structure-preserving mappings between structures) and a binary operation (composition of morphisms).

Complexity classes P and NP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If positive solutions to a yes/no problem can be verified quickly in polynomial time, can the answers also be computed quickly in polynomial time? There is no proof one way or the other yet.
