Species were thought to be cohesive mostly as a result of recurrent genetic exchange among them, but I was...

On Hoare-McCarthy algebras

We discuss an algebraic approach to propositional logic with side effects. To this end, we use Hoare’s conditional [1985], which is a ternary connective comparable to if-then-else. Starting from McCarthy’s notion of sequential evaluation [1963] we discuss a number of valuation congruences and we introduce Hoare-McCarthy algebras as the structures that characterize these congruences.
