Bilattice logic properly displayed

We introduce a proper multi-type display calculus for bilattice logic (with conflation) for which we prove soundness, completeness, conservativity, standard subformula property and cut elimination. Our proposal builds on the product representation of bilattices and applies the guidelines of the multi-type methodology in the design of display calculi.Ethics & Philosophy of Technolog

Proper Multi-Type Display Calculi for Rough Algebras

In the present paper, we endow the logics of topological quasi Boolean algebras, topological quasi Boolean algebras 5, intermediate algebras of types 1-3, and pre-rough algebras with proper multi-type display calculi which are sound, complete, conservative, and enjoy cut elimination and subformula property. Our proposal builds on an algebraic analysis and applies the principles of the multi-type methodology in the design of display calculi.Ethics & Philosophy of Technolog

Toward an epistemic-logical theory of categorization

Categorization systems are widely studied in psychology, sociology, and organization theory as information-structuring devices which are critical to decision-making processes. In the present paper, we introduce a sound and complete epistemic logic of categories and agents' categorical perception. The Kripke-style semantics of this logic is given in terms of data structures based on two domains: one domain representing objects (e.g. market products) and one domain representing the features of the objects which are relevant to the agents' decision-making. We use this framework to discuss and propose logic-based formalizations of some core concepts from psychological, sociological, and organizational research in categorization theory.Ethics & Philosophy of Technolog
