Stable Canonical Rules for Intuitionistic Modal Logics

Abstract

This paper develops stable canonical rules for intuitionistic modal logics, which were first introduced for superintuitionistic logics and transitive nor mal modal logics in [1] and [2] respectively. We first prove that every in tuitionistic modal multi-conclusion consequence relation is axiomatizable by stable canonical rules. This allows us to assume, without loss of generality, that rules considered by us are stable canonical ones. The idea turns out to be useful. In particular, using stable canonical rules, we get an alterna tive proof of the Blok-Esakia theorem for intuitionistic modal logics which was first proved in [3] and generalize it to multi-conclusion consequence re lations. We also prove the Dummett-Lemmon conjecture for intuitionistic modal multi-conclusion consequence relations, which, as far as we know, is a new result.

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.
