Regular entailment relations

Logic 2020-07-27 v2

Abstract

Inspired by the work of Lorenzen on the theory of preordered groups in the forties and fifties, we define regular entailment relations and show a crucial theorem for this structure. We also describe equivariant systems of ideals {\`a} la Lorenzen and show that the remarkable regularisation process invented by him yields a regular entailment relation. By providing constructive objects and arguments, we pursue Lorenzen's aim of "bringing to light the basic, pure concepts in their simple and transparent clarity"
