Hyperformalism for Bunched Natural Deduction Systems

Logic 2026-04-28 v1

Abstract

Logics closed under classes of substitutions broader than class of uniform substitutions are known as hyperformal logics. This paper extends known results about hyperformal logics in two ways. First: we examine a very powerful form of hyperformalism that tracks, for bunched natural deduction systems, essentially all the intensional content that can possibly be tracked. We demonstrate that, after a few tweaks, the well-known relevant logic B\mathbf{B} exhibits this form of hyperformalism. Second: we demonstrate that not only can hyperformalism be extended along these lines, it can also be extended to accommodate not just what is proved in a given logic but the proofs themselves. Altogether, the paper demonstrates that the space of possibilities for the study of hyperformalism is much larger than might have been expected.
