Nominalistic Logic (Extended Abstract)

Abstract

Nominalistic Logic (NL) is a new presentation of Paul Gilmore's Intensional Type Theory (ITT) as a sequent calculus together with a succinct nominalization axiom (N) that permits names of predicates as individuals in certain cases. The logic has a flexible comprehension axiom, but no extensionality axiom and no infinity axiom, although axiom N is the key to the derivation of Peano's postulates for the natural numbers.
