A state vector algebra for algorithmic implementation of second-order logic

Artificial Intelligence 2015-11-19 v3 Logic in Computer Science

Abstract

We present a mathematical framework for mapping second-order logic relations onto a simple state vector algebra. Using this algebra, basic theorems of set theory can be proven in an algorithmic way, hence by an expert system. We illustrate the use of the algebra with simple examples and show that, in principle, all theorems of basic set theory can be recovered in an elementary way. The developed technique can be used for an automated theorem proving in the 1st and 2nd order logic.
