The concept of informal mathematical proof considered in intuitionism is apparently vulnerable to a version of the liar paradox. However, a careful reevaluation of this concept reveals a subtle error whose correction blocks the…

The Aristotelian syllogistic cannot account for the validity of many inferences involving relational facts. In this paper, we investigate the prospects for providing a relational syllogistic. We identify several fragments based on (a)…

Semiconic idempotent logic sCI is a common generalization of intuitionistic logic, semilinear idempotent logic sLI, and in particular relevance logic with mingle. We establish the projective Beth definability property and the deductive…

The aim of this article is to generalize logics of formal inconsistency ($\textbf{LFI}$s) to systems dealing with the concept of incompatibility, expressed by means of a binary connective. The basic idea is that having two incompatible…

Sambin et al. (2000) introduced Basic Logic as a uniform framework for various logics. At the same time, they also introduced the principle of reflection as a criterion for being a connective in Basic Logic. In this paper, we make explicit…

We extend classical Propositional Logic (PL) by adding a new primitive binary connective $\varphi|\psi$, intended to represent the "superposition" of sentences $\varphi$ and $\psi$, an operation motivated by the corresponding notion of…

Self-modification is often taken as constitutive of artificial superintelligence (SI), yet modification is a relative action requiring a supplement outside the operation. When self-modification extends to this supplement, the classical…

Principia Logico-Metaphysica contains a foundational logical theory for metaphysics, mathematics, and the sciences. It includes a canonical development of Abstract Object Theory [AOT], a metaphysical theory (inspired by ideas of Ernst…

Using a graph representation of classical logic, the paper shows that the liar or Yablo pattern occurs in every semantic paradox. The core graph theoretic result generalizes theorem of Richardson, showing solvability of finite graphs…

If a semantically open language has no constraints on self-reference, one can prove an absurdity. The argument utilizes co-referring names 'a0' and 'a1', and the definition of a functional expression 'The reflection of x = y'. The…

The inconsistencies involved in the foundation of set theory were invariably caused by infinity and self-reference; and only with the opportune axiomatic restrictions could them be obviated. Throughout history, both concepts have proved to…

Dictionaries are inherently circular in nature. A given word is linked to a set of alternative words (the definition) which in turn point to further descendants. Iterating through definitions in this way, one typically finds that…

An ultimate universal theory -- a complete theory that accounts, via few and simple first principles, for all the phenomena already observed and that will ever be observed -- has been, and still is, the aspiration of most physicists and…

We propose a novel framework seamlessly providing key properties of both neural nets (learning) and symbolic logic (knowledge and reasoning). Every neuron has a meaning as a component of a formula in a weighted real-valued logic, yielding a…

It is well-known that intuitionistic logics can be formalized by means of Brouwerian semilattices, i.e. relatively pseudocomplemented semilattices. Then the logical connective implication is considered to be the relative pseudocomplement…

Here, by introducing a version of "Unexpected hanging paradox" we try to open a new way and a new explanation for paradoxes, similar to liar paradox. Also, we will show that we have a semantic situation which no syntactical logical system…

We show the functional completeness for the connectives of the non-trivial negation inconsistent logic C by using a well-established method implementing purely proof-theoretic notions only. Firstly, given that C contains a strong negation,…

Recursive relational specifications are commonly used to describe the computational structure of formal systems. Recent research in proof theory has identified two features that facilitate direct, logic-based reasoning about such…

In a lexicalized grammar formalism such as Lexicalized Tree-Adjoining Grammar (LTAG), each lexical item is associated with at least one elementary structure (supertag) that localizes syntactic and semantic dependencies. Thus a parser for a…

This paper presents a formal theory which describes propositional binary logic as a semantically closed formal language, and allows for syntactically and semantically well-formed formulae, formal proofs (demonstrability in Hilbertian…
