Abstract

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 interpolation property for many extensions of sCI, and identify extensions where these properties fail. We achieve these results by studying the (strong) amalgamation property and the epimorphism-surjectivity property for the corresponding algebraic semantics, viz. semiconic idempotent residuated lattices. Our study is made possible by the structural decomposition of conic idempotent models achieved in the prequel, as well as a detailed analysis of the structure of idempotent residuated chains serving as index sets in this decomposition. Here we study the latter on two levels: as certain enriched Galois connections and as enhanced monoidal preorders. Using this, we show that although conic idempotent residuated lattices do not have the amalgamation property, the natural class of rigid and conjunctive conic idempotent residuated lattices has the strong amalgamation property, and thus has surjective epimorphisms. This extends to the variety generated by rigid and conjunctive conic idempotent residuated lattices, and we establish the (strong) amalgamation and epimorphism-surjectivity properties for several important subvarieties. Using the algebraizability of sCI, this yields the deductive interpolation property and the projective Beth definability property for the corresponding substructural logics extending sCI.

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.
