Three New Genuine Five-Valued Logics
Three new genuine five-valued logics Mauricio Osorio1 and Claudia Zepeda2 1 Universidad de las Am´ericas-Puebla, 2 Benem´eritaUniversidad At´onomade Puebla fosoriomauri,[email protected] Abstract. We introduce three 5-valued paraconsistent logics that we name FiveASP1, FiveASP2 and FiveASP3. Each of these logics is genuine and paracomplete. FiveASP3 was constructed with the help of Answer Sets Programming. The new value is called e attempting to model the notion of ineffability. If one drops e from any of these logics one obtains a well known 4-valued logic introduced by Avron. If, on the other hand one drops the \implication" connective from any of these logics, one obtains Priest logic FDEe. We present some properties of these logics. Keywords: many-valued logics, genuine paraconsistent logic, ineffabil- ity. 1 Introduction Belnap [16] claims that a 4-valued logic is a suitable framework for computer- ized reasoning. Avron in [3,2,4,1] supports this thesis. He shows that a 4-valued logic naturally express true, false, inconsistent or uncertain information. Each of these concepts is represented by a particular logical value. Furthermore in [3] he presents a sound and complete axiomatization of a family of 4-valued logics. On the other hand, Priest argues in [22] that a 4-valued logic models very well the four possibilities explained before, but here in the context of Buddhist meta-physics, see for instance [26]. This logic is called FDE, but such logic fails to satisfy the well known Modus Ponens inference rule. If one removes the im- plication connective in this logic, it corresponds to the corresponding fragment of any of the logics studied by Avron. -

The last few years have witnessed a tremendous boost of activity in this area, and so the organisers felt that the time was ripe to bring together researchers in order to help spread novel ideas and suggest new directions of inquiry. ∗University of Konstanz.

Models of Type Theory Based on Moore Paths ∗
Logical Methods in Computer Science Volume 15, Issue 1, 2019, pp. 2:1–2:24 Submitted Feb. 16, 2018 https://lmcs.episciences.org/ Published Jan. 09, 2019 MODELS OF TYPE THEORY BASED ON MOORE PATHS ∗ IAN ORTON AND ANDREW M. PITTS University of Cambridge Department of Computer Science and Technology, UK e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail address: [email protected] Abstract. This paper introduces a new family of models of intensional Martin-L¨oftype theory. We use constructive ordered algebra in toposes. Identity types in the models are given by a notion of Moore path. By considering a particular gros topos, we show that there is such a model that is non-truncated, i.e. contains non-trivial structure at all dimensions. In other words, in this model a type in a nested sequence of identity types can contain more than one element, no matter how great the degree of nesting. Although inspired by existing non-truncated models of type theory based on simplicial and cubical sets, the notion of model presented here is notable for avoiding any form of Kan filling condition in the semantics of types. 1. Introduction Homotopy Type Theory [Uni13] has re-invigorated the study of the intensional version of Martin-L¨oftype theory [Mar75]. On the one hand, the language of type theory helps to express synthetic constructions and arguments in homotopy theory and higher-dimensional category theory. On the other hand, the geometric and algebraic insights of those branches of mathematics shed new light on logical and type-theoretic notions. -
Reasoning in an ∞-Topos with Homotopy Type Theory
Reasoning in an 1-topos with homotopy type theory Dan Christensen University of Western Ontario 1-Topos Institute, April 1, 2021 Outline: Introduction to homotopy type theory Examples of applications to 1-toposes 1 / 23 2 / 23 Motivation for Homotopy Type Theory People study type theory for many reasons. I'll highlight two: Its intrinsic homotopical/topological content. Things we prove in type theory are true in any 1-topos. Its suitability for computer formalization. This talk will focus on the first point. So, what is an 1-topos? 3 / 23 1-toposes An 1-category has objects, (1-)morphisms between objects, 2-morphisms between 1-morphisms, etc., with all k-morphisms invertible for k > 1. Alternatively: a category enriched over spaces. The prototypical example is the 1-category of spaces. An 1-topos is an 1-category C that shares many properties of the 1-category of spaces: C is presentable. In particular, C is cocomplete. C satisfies descent. In particular, C is locally cartesian closed. Examples include Spaces, slice categories such as Spaces/S1, and presheaves of Spaces, such as G-Spaces for a group G. If C is an 1-topos, so is every slice category C=X. 4 / 23 History of (Homotopy) Type Theory Dependent type theory was introduced in the 1970's by Per Martin-L¨of,building on work of Russell, Church and others. In 2006, Awodey, Warren, and Voevodsky discovered that dependent type theory has homotopical models, extending 1998 work of Hofmann and Streicher. At around this time, Voevodsky discovered his univalance axiom. -

Basic idea: mathematical objects are (ordinary) homotopy types. (no entity without identity – a notion of identification) • Avoid “higher groupoid hell”: We can work directly with homotopy types and we can form higher quotients. (But can we form enough? More on this later.) Cf.: The HoTT book & list of references on the HoTT wiki Homotopy levels Recall Voevodsky’s definition of the homotopy levels: Level Name Definition −2 contractible isContr(A) := (x : A) × (y : A) !

The types of categories and related structures are 2-types. Univalence axiom For A; B : Type, the map id-to-equivA;B :(A =Type B) ! (A ' B) is an equivalence. -

A logic is paraconsistent if it rejects the principle of explosion, allowing thus for the possibility of contradictory and yet non-trivial theories. Among the several paraconsistent logics that have been proposed in the literature, there is a particular family of (propositional and quantified) systems known as Logics of Formal Inconsistency (LFIs), developed and thoroughly studied Manuscrito – Rev. Int. Fil. Campinas, v. 41, n. 2, pp. 111-122, abr.-jun. 2018. Henrique Antunes & Vincenzo Ciccarelli 112 within the Brazilian tradition on paraconsistency. A distinguishing feature of the LFIs is that although they reject the general validity of the principle of explosion, as all other paraconsistent logics do, they admit a a restrcited version of it known as principle of gentle explosion. -
Homotopy Type Theory: a New Connection Between Logic, Category Theory and Topology
Homotopy type theory: a new connection between logic, category theory and topology Andr´eJoyal UQAM` Category Theory Seminar, CUNY, October 26, 2018 Classical connections between logic, algebra and topology I Boolean algebras I Heyting algebras I Cylindric algebras I Categorical doctrines I Cartesian closed categories and λ-calculus I Autonomous categories and linear logic Topos theoretic connections: I Frames and locales I Elementary toposes and intuitionistic set theory I Grothendieck toposes and geometric logic I Realisability toposes Axiomatic Homotopy Theory J.H.C. Whitehead (1950): The ultimate aim of algebraic homotopy is to construct a purely algebraic theory, which is equivalent to homotopy theory in the same sort of way that analytic is equivalent to pure projective geometry. Traditional axiomatic systems in homotopy theory: I Triangulated categories [Verdier 1963]; I Homotopical algebra [Quillen 1967]; I Derivators [Grothendieck 1984] New axiomatic systems: I Higher toposes [Rezk, Lurie, ....]; I Homotopy type theory [Voevodsky, Awodey & Warren,....]; I Cubical type theory [Coquand & collaborators]. Voevodsky's Univalent Foundation Program Voevodsky's univalence principle is to type theory what the induction principle is to Peano arithmetic. A univalent type theory (UTT) is obtained by adding the univalence principle to Martin-L¨oftype theory (MLTT). The goal of Voevodsky's Univalent Foundation Program is to I give constructive mathematics a new foundation; I apply type theory to homotopy theory; I develop proof assistants based in UTT. But many basic questions remain to be solved. Goals of my talk To describe the connection between type theory, category theory and topology by using the notion of tribe. Theorem (Gambino & Garner, Shulman) The syntaxic category of type theory is a tribe.
