This paper seeks to apply categorical logic to the design of artificial intelligent agents that reason symbolically about objects more richly structured than sets. Using Johnstone's sequent calculus of terms- and formulae-in-context, we…
Recent developments in the categorical foundations of universal algebra have given fresh impetus to an understanding of the lambda calculus coming from categorical logic: an interpretation is a semi-closed algebraic theory. Scott's…
This paper studies algebras arising as algebraic semantics for logics used to model reasoning with incomplete or inconsistent information. In particular we study, in a uniform way, varieties of bilattices equipped with additional…
In this article, we define general normal forms for any logic that has propositional part and whose non-propositional connectives distribute over the finite disjunctions. We do not require the non-propositional connectives to be closed on…
We give an introduction to logic tailored for algebraists, explaining how proofs in linear logic can be viewed as algorithms for constructing morphisms in symmetric closed monoidal categories with additional structure. This is made explicit…
This paper extends implication-space semantics to include first-order quantification. Implication-space semantics has recently been introduced as an inferentialist formal semantics that can capture nonmonotonic and nontransitive material…
A number of models of linear logic are based on or closely related to linear algebra, in the sense that morphisms are "matrices" over appropriate coefficient sets. Examples include models based on coherence spaces, finiteness spaces and…
Modern categorical logic as well as the Kripke and topological models of intuitionistic logic suggest that the interpretation of ordinary "propositional" logic should in general be the logic of subsets of a given universe set. Partitions on…
This paper has two goals. The first goal is to show how an extension of second-order logic is a natural framework to formalize portions of Aristotle's \emph{Topics} and to bring to the foreground the logical, linguistic and philosophical…
The purpose of this survey article is to introduce the reader to a connection between Logic, Geometry, and Algebra which has recently come to light in the form of an interpretation of the constructive type theory of Martin-L\"of into…
In this work, a novel quaternary algebra has been proposed that can be used to implement an arbitrary quaternary logic function in more than one systematic ways. The proposed logic has evolved from and is closely related to the Boolean…
Adjoint logic is a general approach to combining multiple logics with different structural properties, including linear, affine, strict, and (ordinary) intuitionistic logics, where each proposition has an intrinsic mode of truth. It has…
We focus on a branch of region-based spatial logics dealing with affine geometry. The research on this topic is scarce: only a handful of papers investigate such systems, mostly in the case of the real plane. Our long-term goal is to…
We establish a novel connection between two research areas in non-classical logics which have been developed independently of each other so far: on the one hand, input/output logic, introduced within a research program developing logical…
This paper develops a proof-theoretic framework for abstract interpretation by systematically associating logical systems with finite abstractions. Building on earlier work on the internal logics of abstractions, we propose a general…
We study extensions of standard description logics to the framework of polyadic modal logic. We promote a natural approach to such logics via general relation algebras that can be used to define operations on relations of all arities. As a…
Relative algebroids provide a framework that unifies Lie algebroids with partial differential equations. In this set of notes, we explain how relative algebroids arise from geometric problems, and give an introduction to their structural…
Tableaux originate as a decision method for a logical language. They can also be extended to obtain a structure that spells out all the information in a set of sentences in terms of truth value assignments to atomic formulas that appear in…
We present a general relational semantics framework which, by varying the axiomatization and components of the relational structures, provides a uniform semantics for sentential logics, classical and non-classical alike. The approach we…
First-order logic is typically presented as the study of deduction in a setting with elementary quantification. In this paper, we take another vantage point and conceptualize first-order logic as a linear space that encodes "plausibility".…
