Statistics of Intuitionistic versus Classical Logics

چکیده
For the given logical calculus we investigate the size of the proportion of the number of true formulas of a certain length n against the number of all formulas of such length. We are especially interested in asymptotic behavior of this fraction when n tends to infinity. If the limit of fractions exists it represents the real number between 0 and 1 which we may call the density of truth for the investigated logic. In this paper we apply this approach to the intuitionistic logic of one variable with implication and negation. The result is obtained by reducing it to the same problem of Dummett’s intermediate linear logic of one variable ( see [?]). Actually, this paper shows the exact density of intuitionistic logic and demonstrates that it covers a substantial part (more then 93%) of classical propositional calculus. Despite using strictly mathematical means to solve all discussed problems, this paper in fact, may have a philosophical impact on understanding how much the phenomenon of truth is sporadic or frequent in random mathematics sentences.

Truth Values and Connectives in Some Non-Classical Logics
The question as to whether the propositional logic of Heyting, which was a formalization of Brouwer's intuitionistic logic, is finitely many valued or not, was open for a while (the question was asked by Hahn). Kurt Gödel (1932) introduced an infinite decreasing chain of intermediate logics, which are known nowadays as Gödel logics, for showing that the intuitionistic logic is not finitely (man...
متن کاملIntuitionistic Modal Logics as Fragments of Classical Bimodal Logics
Godel's translation of intuitionistic formulas into modal ones provides the well-known embedding of intermediate logics into extensions of Lewis' system S4, which re ects and sometimes preserves such properties as decidability, Kripke completeness, the nite model property. In this paper we establish a similar relationship between intuitionistic modal logics and classical bimodal logics. We als...
متن کاملPropositional mixed logic: its syntax and semantics
In this paper, we present a propositional logic (called mixed logic) containing disjoint copies of minimal, intuitionistic and classical logics. We prove a completeness theorem for this logic with respect to a Kripke semantics. We establish some relations between mixed logic and minimal, intuitionistic and classical logics. We present at the end a sequent calculus version for this logic.
متن کاملOn the relation between intuitionistic and classical modal logics
Intuitionistic propositional logic Int and its extensions, known as intermediate or superintuitionistic logics, in many respects can be regarded just as fragments of classical modal logics containing S4. At the syntactical level, the Godel translation t embeds every intermediate logic L = Int+ into modal logics in the interval L = [ L = S4 t( ); L = Grz t( )]. Semantically this is re ected by ...
متن کاملQuantitative Comparison of Intuitionistic and Classical Logics - Full Propositional System
We address the problem of quantitative comparison of classical and intuitionistic logics within the language of the full propositional system. We apply two different approaches, to estimate the asymptotic fraction of intuitionistic tautologies among classical tautologies, obtaining the same results for both. Our results justify informal statements such as “about 5/8 of classical tautologies are...
