Recovery operators in quasi-Nelson logic: the prelinear case

Abstract

This paper investigates recovery operators in quasi-Nelson logic, the algebraizable logical counterpart of quasi-Nelson algebras. These form a variety of three-potent, distributive, but not necessarily involutive residuated lattices that may be regarded as a common generalization of Nelson and Heyting algebras. We consider both consistency and determinedness operators, with a particular focus on logics and algebras that satisfy the prelinearity condition, which is well-known in the area of mathematical fuzzy logics. We show that, essentially, all algebraic and logical results already proved for (prelinear, distributive) involutive residuated lattice-based LFIs/LFUs can be recovered in the quasi-Nelson setting, where one dispenses with the involutivity assumption. In this setting, consistency and undeterminedness operators are no longer duals of one another, and hence call for a more fine-grained algebraic and logical formalization.

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.
