Boolean connectives, quantifiers and sequents in the HOL logic can all be lifted to operate on predicates. The lifted logical operators and sequents form a Logic of Predicates (LP) whose behavior resembles closely that of the unlifted HOL logic. Of the applications of LP we describe two in ...
universally quantified sentences; but if the quantification is embed-ded into other connectives and quantifiers then they would also have to be pushed into the metalanguage, so that the formalisation of many sentences would end in an unhappy mix of expressions in the object- and the meta-...
(65) alâghe λpe.INTEREST(p) 8There is another diagnostic for quality nouns, not directly applicable in English or Persian: quality nouns are known to be compatible with certain quantifiers in Italian, particularly nessun(o) 'no,' which are not compatible with ordinary mass or plural count...
quantifiersFormal reasoning in the sense of "letting the symbols do the work" was Leibniz's dream, but making it possible and convenient for everyday practice irrespective of the availability of automated tools is due to the calculational approach that emerged from ...
fast "head" calculation; (ⅱ) sets; (ⅲ) functions, with a basic library of generic functionals that are useful throughout continuous and discrete mathematics; (ⅳ) predicate calculus, making formal calculation with quantifiers as "routine" as with derivatives and integrals in engineering ...
