Principia Mathematica, or "PM" as it is often abbreviated, was an attempt to describe a set of axioms and inference rules in symbolic logic from which all mathematical truths could in principle be proven.
The Principia Mathematica (often abbreviated PM) is a three-volume work on the foundations of mathematics written by mathematician–philosophers Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell and published in 1910, 1912, and 1913.
The axiom of reducibility was introduced by Bertrand Russell in the early 20th century as part of his ramified theory of types. Russell devised and introduced the axiom in an attempt to manage the contradictions he had discovered in his analysis of set theory. [1]

Observations: 1. In the case of union operation, we can have a new start state, from which, the null transition proceeds to the starting state of both the Finite State Machines. 2. The final states of both the Finite Automata are converted to intermediate states. The final state is unified into one which can be traversed by null transitions.
Observations: 1. In the case of a concatenation operation we can have the same starting state as that of S, the only change occurs in the end state of S, which is converted to an intermediate state followed by a Null Transition. 2. The Null transition is followed by the starting state of T, and the final state of T is used as the end state of R.
Observations: 1. A new starting state is added, and S has been put as an intermediate state so that the self-looping condition could be incorporated. 2. Starting and Ending states have been defined separately so that the self-looping condition is not disturbed. Now that we are aware of the general operations. Let’s see how Kleene’s Theorem-I can be...
May 21, 1996 · Principia Mathematica, the landmark work in formal logic written by Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell, was first published in three volumes in 1910, 1912 and 1913. A second edition appeared in 1925 (Volume I) and 1927 (Volumes II and III).
Kleene: I had a liberal arts education at Amherst College where I had two majors, mathematics and philosophy. As I came near the end of my undergraduate years, I was undecided as to whether I would go into philosophy or mathematics.

STEVE KLEENE, A YANKEE from Maine, became a pioneer mathematical logician. His clear, precise ideas developed the modern study of computable functions and of automata. He was also a devoted mountaineer. Kleene was born in 1909 in Hartford, Connecticut, but his real home was his paternal grandfather's farm in Union, Maine.
