چکیده

We investigate the higher-order modal logic SωI , which is a variant of the system Sω presented in our previous work. A semantics for that system, founded on the theory of quasi sets, is outlined. We show how such a semantics, motivated by the very intuitive base of Schrödinger logics, provides an alternative way to formalize some intensional concepts and features which have been used in recent discussions on the logical foundations of quantum mechanics; for example, that some terms like ‘electron’ have no precise reference and that ‘identical’ particles cannot be named unambiguously. In the last section, we sketch a classical semantics for quasi set theory.

Towards a Unified Theory of Intensional Logic Programming

Intensional Logic Programming is a new form of logic programming based on intensional logic and possible-worlds semantics. Intensional logic allows us to use logic programming to specify nonterminating computations and to capture the dynamic aspects of certain problems in a natural and problem-oriented style. The meanings of formulas of an intensional firstorder language are given according to ...

A Theoretical Basis for Intensional Logic Programming∗

Intensional Logic Programming (ILP) is a new form of logic programming based on intensional logic. The denotations of formulas of an intensional first-order language are given according to intensional interpretations and to a set of possible worlds. ILP provides users with several intensional operators which are used to express relationships between different worlds. After introducing the forma...

A Formal Treatment of Non-Deterministic Dataflow Streams in Intensional Logic Programming∗

Intensional logic programming is an alternative to concurrent logic programming languages which employ infinitary data structures such as streams to specify non-terminating computations. Wadge has proposed a logical extension to intensional logic programming, i.e., choice predicates, though which dataflow-style computations can be naturally expressed. This paper discusses the model-theoretical ...

Conceptual Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

One of the main areas in knowledge representation and logic-based artificial intelligence concerns logical formalisms that can be used for representing and reasoning with concepts. For almost 30 years, since research in this area began, the issue of intensionality has had a special status in that it has been considered to play an important role, yet it has not been precisely established what it...

An Operational Approach to Fine-Grained Intensionality

Classical intensional semantic frameworks, like Montague’s Intensional Logic (IL), identify intensional identity with logical equivalence. This criterion of co-intensionality is excessively coarse-grained, and it gives rise to several well known difficulties. Theories of fine-grained intensionality have been been proposed to avoid this problem. Several of these provide a formal solution to the ...
