First-order friendliness

Logic 2025-01-08 v6

Abstract

In this note we study a counterpart in predicate logic of the notion of 'logical friendliness', introduced into propositional logic in Makinson (2007). The result is a new consequence relation for predicate languages using first-order models. Although compactness and interpolation fail dramatically, other properties are preserved from the propositional case.
