A very good book is the one by Eliot Mendelson:

MENDELSON E., 1987, Introduction to Mathematical Logic, 3ème édition,
Wadsworth &
brooks/Cole.



A good webpage is Podnieks page:

It is a like the difference between a solitaire video game, and a
collective video game, where many computational histories cohere and
glue together. It is still an open problem if that can exist with
comp, note!
It is related to the difference between first person, and first person
plural, which, in both QM and pure comp, are defined by "population"
multiplication. If we are both annihilated and both reconstituted in
washington and Moscow, we can share indeterminacies and even use a
notion of Dutch Book probabilities.

Best,

Bruno
