"Logical unification"

I will talk on preliminary work on the role of [0,1]-valued
logic in unifying the growing number of first order logics. In
particular, elementary classes in [0,1]-valued logic are CATs in the
sense of Ben Yaacov and the class of von Neumann algebras with faithful
actions on Hilbert spaces form an elementary class.
