Abstract

This is a survey of five unusual takes on what
the Interpolation Theorem says, as a form of
'model-crossing inference' involving changing
vocabulary, mixed with preservation behaviour.
Connections include Bolzano in the history of
logic, and computational fixed-point logics.
The material was presented at the Berkeley
'Craigfest', May 2007, honouring Bill Craig's
90th birthday, and it will appear in a special
issue of "Synthese", edited by Paolo Mancosu.
