The substitutional theory of logical consequence

Models have set-sized domains, while the intended interpretation, if it could be conceived as a model, cannot be limited by any cardinality. Similarly, logical truth defined as truth in all ...

... Consider the boolean formula satisfiability problem, SAT. For formulas in SAT, there is always a short proof of satisfiability – a satisfying truth assignment – and therefore SAT is trivially in NP. However, for formulas not in SAT, it is not that clear what a proof of unsatisfiability could be. Som ...

DIPLOMAMUNKA
... It is well known that the class of primitive relations is closed under substitution by primitive recursive functions, conjunction, disjunction, negation, bounded quantification and bounded minimization. In other words, if R, R0 are n-ary relations, S is an (n + 1)-ary relation, f0 , f1 , . . . , fn− ...
