Model Theory and Proof Theory of Coalgebraic Predicate Logic [PDF]
Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2018 We propose a generalization of first-order logic originating in a neglected work by C.C. Chang: a natural and generic correspondence language for any types of structures which can be recast as Set-coalgebras.

Principia: An International Journal of EpistemologyThere are some sentences that include expressions that refer to entities that do not exist. One example is this: Mary is in terror of werewolves. Some argue that this sentence cannot be translated into predicate logic.

Completeness of the First-Order Logic of Partial Quasiary Predicates with the Complement Composition [PDF]
Computer Science Journal of Moldova, 2019 Partial quasiary predicates are used in programming for representing program semantics and in logic for formalizing predicates over partial variable assignments.

Influences of Frege’s Predicate Logic on Some Computational Models [PDF]
Future Human Image, 2018 The purpose of this paper is to give some insights into the immense role of Frege’s first order logic (FOL) in the development of computer science. We argue that the FOL is fundamental in computer science, and that some computer science subfields could ...

Necessity in the Thought of Avicenna [PDF]
حکمت و فلسفه, 2018 To Avicenna, the relation between the subject and the predicate is of three kinds: possibility, necessity, and impossibility. Impossibility is the same as necessary non-existence. The word ‘modal’ in modal logic refers to these three.

Expressing Validity: Towards a Self-Sufficient Inferentialism [PDF]
, 2020 For semantic inferentialists, the basic semantic concept is validity. An inferentialist theory of meaning should offer an account of the meaning of "valid." If one tries to add a validity predicate to one's object language, however, one runs into ...

Origami‐Inspired Structural Design for Aquatic‐Terrestrial Amphibious Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a lightweight amphibious origami robot actuated by a single shape memory alloy wire. A rigid foldable origami structure with displacement amplification enables efficient terrestrial crawling and aquatic swimming. The addition of fan‐shaped units allows controllable turning in both environments.

Agile Logical Semantics for Natural Languages
InformationThis paper presents an agile method of logical semantics based on high-order Predicate Logic. An operator of predicate abstraction is introduced that provides a simple mechanism for logical aggregation of predicates and for logical typing.

An Introduction to Ontology [PDF]
, 1998 Analytical philosophy of the last one hundred years has been heavily influenced by a doctrine to the effect that one can arrive at a correct ontology by paying attention to certain superficial (syntactic) features of first-order predicate logic as ...
