Categorical and Algebraic Aspects of the Intuitionistic Modal Logic $\operatorname{IEL}^{-}$ and its predicate extensions

Abstract

The system of intuitionistic modal logic ${\bf IEL}^{-}$ was proposed by S. Artemov and T. Protopopescu as the intuitionistic version of belief logic \cite{Artemov}. We construct the modal lambda calculus which is Curry-Howard isomorphic to ${\bf IEL}^{-}$ as the type-theoretical representation of applicative computation widely known in functional programming. We also provide a categorical interpretation of this modal lambda calculus considering coalgebras associated with a monoidal functor on a cartesian closed category. Finally, we study Heyting algebras and locales with corresponding operators. Such operators are used in point-free topology as well. We study compelete Kripke-Joyal-style semantics for predicate extensions of ${\bf IEL}^{-}$ and related logics using Dedekind-MacNeille completions and modal cover systems introduced by Goldblatt \cite{goldblatt2011cover}. The paper extends the conference paper published in the LFCS'20 volume \cite{rogozin2020modal}.

There is no maximal $K$-degree

The Kolmogorov complexity of a string characterize how complex it is to describe the string. If every prefix of a real $x$ is more complex to describe than every prefix (of the same length) of real $y$, then it is seen as $x$ is more complex to describe than $y$. It is wondered if there is a real $x$ so that no other reals are strictly more complex (to describe) than $x$. The behavior of Kolmogorov complexity functions generated by reals (namely $n\mapsto$ the minimal description length of the real) is quite chaos. Therefore, it is widely believed that there are many reals that are maximally complex to describe. For instance, it is conjectured that all random enough reals have maximal $K$-degree. In this paper, it is shown that there is no real with maximal $K$-degree. Actually, for almost all real $x$, we can uniformly computably find another real whose $K$-degree is strictly above $x$.

Quadruples and cubes

We prove, in $\mathsf{ZFC}$, that the $\lambda$-terraced cube relation fails whenever $\lambda$ is an uncountable cardinal. The corresponding terraced relation for quadruples fails for every $\lambda$. If $\lambda$ is $\aleph_0$ then the pretinent terraced relation has consistency strength of at least one Woodin cardinal. We prove positive polarized relations at a successor and a double successor from wondrous ideals. We show, however, that there are no such ideals over two consecutive cardinals simultaneously.

Possibilistic Logic over a Logic of Formal Inconsistency

In this article, we have introduced a new possibilistic logic on a logic of formal inconsistency with the aim of developing a possibility theoretic framework to deal with uncertainty and inconsistency meaningfully without leading to a system collapse. We have discussed the syntax and semantics for this logic and have proved the soundness and completeness theorems. A set of new measures of consistency, contradictoriness, and triviality of a set of formulas have been defined. These have then been put to use in an example to show that this framework can provide better means of machine reasoning.
