Temporal interpretation of intuitionistic quantifiers
Abstract
We show that intuitionistic quantifiers admit the following temporal interpretation: is true at a world iff is true at every object in the domain of every future world, and is true at iff is true at some object in the domain of some past world. For this purpose we work with a predicate version of the well-known tense propositional logic . The predicate logic is obtained by weakening the axioms of the standard predicate extension of along the lines Corsi weakened to . The G\"odel translation embeds the predicate intuitionistic logic into fully and faithfully. We provide a temporal version of the G\"odel translation and prove that it embeds into fully and faithfully; that is, we show that a sentence is provable in iff its translation is provable in . Faithfulness is proved using syntactic methods, while we prove fullness utilizing the generalized Kripke semantics of Corsi.
