Hyper Swap Structures: The Case Study of LFIs and Hyper Boolean Algebras

In a previous paper, we introduced the notion of hyper swap structures, a novel class of hyperalgebras that naturally generalizes swap structures semantics. In this paper we introduce the concept of hyper Boolean algebras based on Morgado hyperlattices, proving some basic properties. From this, we show that several paraconsistent logics in the hierarchy of Logics of Formal Inconsistency (LFIs) can be naturally characterized in terms of hyper swap structures semantics generated by hyper Boolean algebras. Finally, for each of these LFIs we obtain a Kalman-style functor which establishes an equivalence between the category of hyper Boolean algebras and a category of hyper algebras for the corresponding LFI having the hyper swap structures as representative objects.

First-order swap structures semantics for some Logics of Formal Inconsistency

The logics of formal inconsistency (LFIs, for short) are paraconsistent logics (that is, logics containing contradictory but non-trivial theories) having a consistency connective which allows to recover the ex falso quodlibet principle in a controlled way. The aim of this paper is considering a novel semantical approach to first-order LFIs based on Tarskian structures defined over swap structures, a special class of multialgebras. The proposed semantical framework generalizes previous aproaches to quantified LFIs presented in the literature. The case of QmbC, the simpler quantified LFI expanding classical logic, will be analyzed in detail. An axiomatic extension of QmbC called QLFI1o is also studied, which is equivalent to the quantified version of da Costa and D'Ottaviano 3-valued logic J3. The semantical structures for this logic turn out to be Tarkian structures based on twist structures. The expansion of QmbC and QLFI1o with a standard equality predicate is also considered.

Non-deterministic algebraization of logics by swap structures

Multialgebras (or hyperalgebras, or non-deterministic algebras) have been very much studied in Mathematics and in Computer Science. In 2016 Carnielli and Coniglio introduced a class of multialgebras called swap structures, as a semantic framework for dealing with several logics of formal inconsistency (or LFIs) which cannot be semantically characterized by a single finite matrix. In particular, these LFIs are not algebraizable by the standard tools of abstract algebraic logic. In this paper, the first steps towards a theory of non-deterministic algebraization of logics by swap structures are given. Specifically, a formal study of swap structures for LFIs is developed, by adapting concepts of universal algebra to multialgebras in a suitable way. A decomposition theorem similar to Birkhoff's representation theorem is obtained for each class of swap structures. Moreover, when applied to the 3-valued algebraizable logic J3 the usual class of algebraic models is recovered, and the swap structures semantics became twist-structures semantics (as introduced by Fidel-Vakarelov). This fact, together with the existence of a functor from the category of Boolean algebras to the category of swap structures for each LFI, which is closely connected with Kalman's functor, suggests that swap structures can be considered as non-deterministic twist structures, opening so interesting possibilities for dealing with non-algebraizable logics by means of multialgebraic semantics.
