May open sentences be eliminated?

Saul Kripke famously invoked a free logic to avoid validating the Barcan Formula and its converse. In that context he adduced a generality interpretation of free variables. The converse of the Barcan …

How may a largest fixed-point be defined in second order logic?

Adapting from Anil Gupta and & Nuel Belnap, Revision theory of truth, MIT 1993, p. 194, in the context of a second order logic, where $A(x.G)$ is a formula where $G$ only occurs positively, a fixed po …

Algebraization of arithmetic and stronger theories?

Intuitionistic and classical propositional logic, and even classical first-order logic with identity, have algebraic counterparts. Algebraizable logics, 1989, by Willem J. Blok and Don Pigozzi, is a c …

May we axiomatize by means of Gödel codes?

Suppose we have a classical arithmetical theory $\mathbf{R}$, at least as strong as Robinson arithmetic, with $\tau$ an extra dummy monadic predicate in its language $\mathcal{L}$. Suppose $\mathbf{R} …

Representing modus ponens in a Polish propositional logic with NAND as the only connective

In a base for propositional logic using the Polish connective $\uparrow$ for not both, J. Nicod isolated one axiom as sufficient: $\uparrow\uparrow p\uparrow q r\uparrow\uparrow t\uparrow tt\uparrow\ …

A question on complexity notation

I am considering writing ''$\Pi^{n}_{i_{0},...,i_{n-1}}$-comprehension'' as abbreviation for ''$\Pi^{0}_{i_{0}}$-comprehension plus ... plus $\Pi^{n-1}_{i_{n-1}}$-comprehension'' in the context of an …

Is Jaskowski's paraconsistent system moderate if sparked?

Stanislaw Jaskowski published a non-adjunctive paraconsistent logic, which does not have the inference rule $\vdash A \ \& \ \vdash B\Rightarrow \ \vdash A\wedge B$. The paper first appeared in Poli …

A question on the name of a property

What is the name of the following property of a system $T$? If $\vdash_{T}\exists x F(x)$ then there is a term $a$ such that $\vdash_{T} F(a)$ If I recall correctly Heyting Arithmetics has …

What are the adequacy conditions for Rosser Provability?

Famously, Rosser introduced a provability predicate $\pi[A]$ that holds iff $\exists x(xP[A]\wedge\forall y(y\le x\to\lnot yP[\lnot A]))$. Supposing $PA$ is consistent, what are the adequacy conditio …

What can be achieved by liberalizing induction for $RCA_0$?

$RCA_0$ has $\Delta_0$-comprehension and $\Sigma_1$ induction. Let $X\Sigma_{n}$ be $RCA_0$ plus $\Sigma_n$-induction and let $X\Sigma_{\omega}$-induction be $RCA_0$ plus the full induction schema. …

Is Extensionality needed for the incompleteness of very weak set theories?

$ST$ is the weak set theory built upon identity theory and containing the axiom for empty set, the axiom for adjunction and the axiom for extensionality. It is known that $ST$ interprets Robin …
