 New Foundations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematical logic, New Foundations (NF) is a candidate set theory proposed by Willard van Orman Quine, obtained from a streamlined version of the theory of types of Bertrand Russell.
For philosophical reasons, it is important to note that it is not necessary to work in ZFC or any related system to carry out this proof.
A common argument against the use of NFU as a foundation for mathematics is that our reasons for relying on it have to do with our intuition that ZFC is correct.

 NCPA - Daily Policy Digest - Some Foundations Adopt New Motto: Spend It All
A federal tax code change in 1981 relieved foundations of the obligation to distribute at least as much as they earned on their assets each year and, since then, pay-out rates have drifted down to near the legal minimum of 5 percent of assets.
Consequently, during the same period, foundation assets have increased from $47.6 billion to $486.1 billion in 2000.
Foundation sponsors who want their institutions to distribute all funds over a predetermined period of, say, 10 or 15 years argue that a large grant made today may be several times more socially valuable than smaller grants stretched out over years.

He said the language that New Foundations had adopted removed any possibility that someone associated with the nonprofit could "potentially profit" in the years ahead when the nonprofit would dissolve.

 New Foundations Laid
All the results of the new theory depended on the velocity distribution function for a gas not in thermal equilibrium -- a function that Maxwell was unable to determine -- except in the special case of repulsive forces inversely proportional to the 5th power of the distance between two particles.
For this case the velocity-distribution function did not have to be known, and Maxwell found that the viscosity coefficient is directly proportional to the absolute temperature, T. Maxwell's own experimental results agreed with this, and so he concluded by 1866 that the kinetic theory gave completely accurate predictions for gas viscosity.
Enskog and Chapman could then derive formulae for the transport coefficients for a wide variety of force laws; they also uncovered a new transport process, "thermal diffusion," predicted by kinetic theory and later used as one of the processes for separating isotopes in the development of the atomic bomb.
