Second-order Logic
... In first-order logic, we combine the non-logical symbols of a given language, i.e., its constant symbols, function symbols, and predicate symbols, with the logical symbols to express things about first-order structures. This is done using the notion of satisfaction, which relates !astructure M, toge ...

... symbolic language. The answer is direct. It is not necessary to define the new symbol for this, because the existing connective symbols are enough to do this job (see section 1.3.14). In natural language use, there should exists a relation between the statements to be joined by the connective “OR”, ...

Justification logic with approximate conditional probabilities
... First-order variants of LPPS have recently been studied by Ikodinović et al. [18]. Marchioni and Godo [26] present a fuzzy logic with conditional probabilities that uses non-standard probabilities. There are two main contributions of this paper. The first, obviously, is the introduction of operator ...

I distributed these notes to the class and then followed them almost word for word, in the hopes that d ...

Formal logic
... If I V (ϕ) = 1 then it is said that V is a model of ϕ, or that V satisfies ϕ; it is a “world” in which ϕ is true. A formula is said to be valid if it is true under all circumstances, that is, if every valuation is a model of ϕ: ϕ is valid if I V (ϕ) = 1 for all valuations V . For instance, it is ea ...

... The word semantics is used rather generally to refer to meaning. Thus a sentence like “Rover swims” might refer to the ability of a certain dog named Rover. To grasp this sort of meaning requires a knowledge of the world, including animals and bodies of water. On the other hand, we might only care t ...
