Evidence Logics with Relational Evidence
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a family of logics for reasoning about relational evidence: evidence that involves an orderings of states in terms of their relative plausibility. We provide sound and complete axiomatizations for the logics. We also present several evidential actions and prove soundness and completeness for the associated dynamic logics.

Evidence Logic: A New Look at Neighborhood Structures
Two of the authors (van Benthem and Pacuit) recently introduced evidence logic as a way to model epistemic agents faced with possibly contradictory evidence from different sources. For this the authors used neighborhood semantics, where a neighborhood N indicates that the agent has reason to believe that the true state of the world lies in N . A normal belief modality is defined in terms of the...
متن کاملSubstructural epistemic logics
In many common epistemic scenarios, the warrant provided by the body of evidence available to an agent does not seem to be closed under classical consequence. It may be the case that evidence gathered during a criminal investigation provides inconsistent information without thereby supporting the existence of extraterrestrials. It may be the case that an agent has gathered enough evidence to se...
متن کاملProviders and Patients Caught Between Standardization and Individualization: Individualized Standardization as a Solution; Comment on “(Re) Making the Procrustean Bed? Standardization and Customization as Competing Logics in Healthcare”
In their 2017 article, Mannion and Exworthy provide a thoughtful and theory-based analysis of two parallel trends in modern healthcare systems and their competing and conflicting logics: standardization and customization. This commentary further discusses the challenge of treatment decision-making in times of evidence-based medicine (EBM), shared decision-making and personalized medicine. From ...
متن کاملThe Concurrent, Continuous FLUX
It has been recognised that the expressivity of description logics benefits from the introduction of non-standard modal operators beyond existential and number restrictions. Such operators support notions such as uncertainty, defaults, agency, obligation, or evidence, whose semantics often lies outside the realm of relational structures. Coalgebraic hybrid logic serves as a unified setting for ...
