... and make statements about these objects. For example, consider the statement: No matter what number might be chosen, if it is greater than 3, then its square is greater 9. We introduce a variable to replace the words referring to the number: No matter what number n might be chosen, if n is greater t ...

... which @A → A and A → @A hold, for all A. The result follows. Finally, note a further consequence of cut elimination: proof search for entailments of the form Γ ` @∆, where Γ and ∆ are sets of non-modal propositions, is monotonic in Γ, ∆ and the elements of T, and is also generally quite tractable. N ...

Plausibility structures for default reasoning
... Friedman and Halpern have introduced inference by plausibility and shown it to encompass various kinds of default reasoning [4, 5]. A feature of this inference is that the rule (AND) – if ψ1 and ψ2 can be derived, then their conjunction ψ1 ∧ ψ2 can be derived – is not necessarily satisfied. Many int ...

In itself, A tells us nothing about yesterday’s weather; it only raises an implicit question. But if we then either deny or affirm A, we ans ...

Inquiry
An inquiry is any process that has the aim of augmenting knowledge, resolving doubt, or solving a problem. A theory of inquiry is an account of the various types of inquiry and a treatment of the ways that each type of inquiry achieves its aim.
