On Structure and Organization: An Organizing Principle

We discuss the nature of structure and organization, and the process of making new Things. Hyperstructures are introduced as binding and organizing principles, and we show how they can transfer from one situation to another. A guiding example is the hyperstructure of higher order Brunnian rings and similarly structured many-body systems.Comment: Minor revision of section

Singularities and Quinn spectra

We introduce singularities to Quinn spectra. It enables us to talk about ads with prescribed singularities and to explicitly construct representatives for prominent spectra like Morava $K$-theories or for $L$-theory with singularities. We develop a spectral sequence for the computation of the associated bordism groups and investigate product structures in the presence of singularities.Comment: final published versio
