Abstract

The intuitionistic implication and hence the notion of function space in constructive disciplines is both non-geometric and impredicative. In this paper we try to solve both of these problems by first introducing weak exponential objects as a formalization for predicative function spaces and then by proposing modal spaces as a way to introduce a natural family of geometric predicative implications based on the interplay between the concepts of time and space. This combination then leads to a brand new family of modal propositional logics with predicative implications and then to topological semantics for these logics and some weak modal and sub-intuitionistic logics, as well. Finally, we will lift these notions and the corresponding relations to a higher and more structured level of modal topoi and modal type theory.
