Bicategorical Models of Classical Propositional Logic

Category Theory 2023-08-04 v1

Abstract

F\"uhrmann and Pym constructed models of classical propositional logic in an order-enriched categorical setting, whose typical example is the category Rel\mathbf{Rel} of sets and relations. It is remarkable in that they are both non-degenerate and symmetric, i.e., free from the choices of the reduction strategy. As a furter categorification of this direction, we give bicategorical models of classical propositional logic that is also symmetric and non-degenerate. Primal examples of our models include Rel\mathbf{Rel}, Span\mathbf{Span}, and Prof\mathbf{Prof}, which shows that we can construct models that are non-degenerate not only for 11-cells but also for 22-cells and the logical negations.
