We propose a method for inferring \emph{parameterized regular types} for logic programs as solutions for systems of constraints over sets of finite ground Herbrand terms (set constraint systems). Such parameterized regular types generalize…

In the logic programming paradigm, a program is defined by a set of methods, each of which can be executed when specific conditions are met during the current state of an execution. The semantics of these programs can be elegantly…

In dependent type theory, being able to refer to a type universe as a term itself increases its expressive power, but requires mechanisms in place to prevent Girard's paradox from introducing logical inconsistency in the presence of…

Representations are essential to mathematically model phenomena, but there are many options available. While each of those options provides useful properties with which to solve problems related to the phenomena in study, comparing results…

This paper continues the investigation of the logic of competing theories, be they scientific, social, political etc. We introduce a many-valued, multi-type modal language which we endow with relational semantics based on enriched reflexive…

We give a brief account of the modal logic of the generic multiverse, which is a bimodal logic with operators corresponding to the relations "is a forcing extension of" and "is a ground model of". The fragment of the first relation is…

Dependently typed lambda calculi such as the Logical Framework (LF) are capable of representing relationships between terms through types. By exploiting the "formulas-as-types" notion, such calculi can also encode the correspondence between…

We develop a new framework for the study of complex continuous time dynamical systems based on viewing them as collections of interacting control modules. This framework is inspired by and builds upon the groupoid formalism of Golubitsky,…

Type theories with higher-order subtyping or singleton types are examples of systems where computation rules for variables are affected by type information in the context. A complication for these systems is that bounds declared in the…

The success of vision-language models is primarily attributed to effective alignment across modalities such as vision and language. However, modality gaps persist in existing alignment algorithms and appear necessary for human perception as…

A notion of morphism that is suitable for the sheaf-theoretic approach to contextuality is developed, resulting in a resource theory for contextuality. The key features involve using an underlying relation rather than a function between…

When reasoning about formal objects whose structures involve binding, it is often necessary to analyze expressions relative to a context that associates types, values, and other related attributes with variables that appear free in the…

We present a novel formalization of counterfactual conditionals in a quantified modal logic. Counterfactual conditionals play a vital role in ethical and moral reasoning. Prior work has shown that moral reasoning systems (and more…

Prompt programming treats large language model prompts as software components with typed interfaces. Based on a literature survey of 15 recent works from 2023 to 2025, we observe a consistent trend: type systems are central to emerging…

We obtain, for the first time, a modular many-valued semantics for combined logics, which is built directly from many-valued semantics for the logics being combined, by means of suitable universal operations over partial non-deterministic…

Relation-changing modal logics are extensions of the basic modal logic that allow changes to the accessibility relation of a model during the evaluation of a formula. In particular, they are equipped with dynamic modalities that are able to…

We present a unifying framework for type systems for process calculi. The core of the system provides an accurate correspondence between essentially functional processes and linear logic proofs; fragments of this system correspond to…
