'Knowable' as 'known after an announcement'

چکیده
Public announcement logic is an extension of multi-agent epistemic logic with dynamic operators to model the informational consequences of announcements to the entire group of agents. We propose an extension of public announcement logic with a dynamic modal operator that expresses what is true after any announcement: ♦φ expresses that there is a truthful announcement ψ after which φ is true. This logic gives a perspective on Fitch’s knowability issues: for which formulas φ does it hold that φ → ♦Kφ? We give various semantic results, and we show completeness for a Hilbert-style axiomatization of this logic. There is a natural generalization to a logic for arbitrary events.

Everything is Knowable – How to Get to Know
Fitch showed that not every true proposition can be known in due time; in other words, that not every proposition is knowable. Moore showed that certain propositions cannot be consistently believed. A more recent dynamic phrasing of Moore-sentences is that not all propositions are known after their announcement, i.e., not every proposition is successful. Fitch’s and Moore’s results are related,...

متن کاملQuantifying over boolean announcements
Various extensions of public announcement logic have been proposed with quantification over announcements. The best-known extension is called arbitrary public announcement logic, APAL. It contains a primitive language construct ✷φ intuitively expressing that “after every public announcement of a formula, formula φ is true.” The logic APAL is undecidable and it has an infinitary axiomatization. ...
متن کاملThe Knowability Paradox: does logic come before metaphysics?
The Knowability Paradox is a logical argument which states that if all truths are knowable, then all truths are actually known. In 1963 Frederich Fitch published ‘A Logical Analysis of Some Value Concepts’[3]. This brief article appeared on the Journal of Symbolic Logic and it immediately became a classic of philosophical logic. It is in this paper that Fitch presented the Knowability Paradox, ...
