가상계에서의 무정의 용어와 공리: 『걸리버 여행기』를 중심으로

초록

The 18th century novel, Gulliver’s Travels introduces many strange places. Whenever Gulliver stays in a new world, he tries to differently explain it in a virtual world through mathematical expressions. Gulliver constantly excuses that his story is true. But it is possible only that his story has mathematical elements. Unfortunately he doesn’t provide the laws to prove the truth of his story. Like the fictional world in the novel, Gulliver’s story must be proved by the ideas of mathematics and physics. However it is fake, because Gulliver’s stores do not provide mathematical standard for understanding such a world. We have to know there is a limit to understand the fictional world where Gulliver satirizes the world in his political point of view. This paper studies Gulliver’s Travels is separated into literature and mathematics. When mathematical elements are explained in literature, they are imprisoned in a geometric model. So mathematical elements are keeping silent that Gulliver’s Travels is concluded as a political satire. This is the reason why objects and humans are in a mathematical model. They are imprisoned by the arbitrary elements of unidentified term and axiom. Therefore, it is only possible to think of such a small world by the unidentified terms and axioms.
