By the way, I also felt I did not des…Read more

    A Variant of Thomason's First-Order Logic CF Based on Situations
    with Peter Mott
    Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic 39 (1): 74-93. 1998.
    In this paper, we define a first-order logic CFʹ with strong negation and bounded static quantifiers, which is a variant of Thomason's logic CF. For the logic CFʹ, the usual Kripke formal semantics is defined based on situations, and a sound and complete axiomatic system is established based on the axiomatic systems of constructive logics with strong negation and Thomason's completeness proof techniques. With the use of bounded quantifiers, CFʹ allows the domain of quantification to be empty and…Read more
