This objection is based on the observation that logical connectives can be used in logic to produce, loosely speaking, more complex sentences (e.g., taking two sentences \(\phi \) and \(\psi \) and forming their conjunction \(\phi \wedge \psi \)), whereas there are not coinciding ...
Thus, we see again the claim that a category is the abstract algebraic expression of theory presented in a specific language with specific axioms. The main advantage underlined here, however, is that the abstract expression opens up unforeseen connections with other branches of mathematics. But the...
a calculus (formal system) that can be interpreted in terms of a particular fragment of deductive logic. Various logical calculi are used as a basis for constructing richer “nonlogical,” for example, mathematical, theories. Examples of logical calculi that can be used for this purpose are ...
Statements and Logical Connectives 3.1 Statements and Logical Connectives Logic and the English Language Connectives - words such as and, or, if, then Exclusive or - one or the other of the given events can happen, but not both. Inclusive or - one or the other or both of the given events...
The design does not allow the researchers to describe the precise inference pattern followed by any subject in any trial. For cases (3) and (4) (see Fig. 1), positive propositional inferences are enough, particularly connectives and the Modus Ponens rule (deduce B from {A, if A then B}...
of the set of sentences SLSℒ generated recursively from a (finite) propositional language L={p1,…,pn}ℒ={p1,…,pn} , by means of the connectives {¬,∧,∨}{¬,∧,∨} . As a bit of useful terminology, if ψ=(θ∧ϕ)∈SLψ=(θ∧ϕ)∈Sℒ , then both θθ and ...
Right to left similarly.) Parallel results hold for the other standard connectives ∨, ⊃, ￢, in both Classical and Intuitionistic logic. Parallel results hold for the quantifiers in both logics, though here there is an added subtlety: after all, in Higher Order logics (as in other many...

Towards a Logical Framework for Reasoning about Risk 615 The tableau rules for the first layer, which are shown in Fig. 2, are straightfor- ward: they are just the labeled version of the standard rules (where Abs stands for absurdity). Rules for other connectives, such as ∧ and ∨, ...
All representations are given in and mechanically verified by the Twelf implementation of LF. Moreover, we use the Twelf module system to treat all connectives and quantifiers independently. Thus, individual connectives are available for reuse when representing other logics, and we obtain the first ...
