Conservative translations

The ubiquity of conservative translations

We study the notion of conservative translation between logics introduced by Feitosa and D’Ottaviano [7]. We show that classical propositional logic (CPC) is universal in the sense that every finitary consequence relation over a countable set of formulas can be conservatively translated into CPC. The translation is computable if the consequence relation is decidable. More generally, we show tha...

This text aims at providing a bird's eye view of possible-translations semantics ([10, 24]), defined, developed and illustrated as a very comprehensive formalism for obtaining or for representing semantics for all sorts of logics. With that tool, a wide class of complex logics will very naturally turn out to be (de)composable by way of some suitable combination of simpler logics. Several exampl...
