Finally, I show how each of these semantic frameworks accounts for the logical behaviour of these meaningless moral sentences and their upshots to moral reasoning; in particular, how each framework addresses (an emotivist variant of) Jörgensen's dilemma.","PeriodicalId":38573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics","volume":"14 1","pages":"1 - 10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87168328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lately, much effort is being devoted to logically characterise the explanatory relation of grounding, especially by proof-theoretical means. Nevertheless, no thorough investigation of the resulting notion of formal explanation exists. We show that formal explanations can be seen as logical derivations of a particular kind and study the interactions between grounding and logical rules, formal explanations and logical derivations. We define a minimal calculus that captures both grounding and logical derivability, and show by a normalisation procedure that grounding rules are proof-theoretically balanced with respect to logical elimination rules. The introduced calculus enables us to combine logical derivations and explanations, to distinguish explanatory parts of derivations from non-explanatory parts, and to compose explanations in order to construct chains of consecutive grounding steps.","PeriodicalId":38573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics","volume":"4 1","pages":"279 - 342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90472905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Realisation is usually understood as relativised truth-connective, thus under most accounts it distributes over all Boolean connectives. Nonetheless, there are good reasons to consider weaker kinds of realisation, which lack some distributive laws. Three kinds of semantics for such weak realisation were provided: many-valued, set-theoretic and relational. The paper addresses the problem of Jarmużek's interpretation of the connective of realisation in relational models. It is argued that Jarmużek truth condition for the connective of realisation is tantamount to imposing symmetry on the relation of accessibility in a model. Moreover, a simplified semantics as well as axiom system for Jarmużek system are presented. Finally, a unification with Tkaczyk's – most general -- results is provided by proving completeness result for the axiom system with respect to Tkaczyk-style set-theoretic semantics.","PeriodicalId":38573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics","volume":"143 1","pages":"221 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90831301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compound statements are evaluated from left to right. Short-circuit evaluation is widely used in programming, with negation and sequential conjunction and disjunction as primitives. We study the question of which laws axiomatise short-circuit evaluation. In MSCL (memorising short-circuit logic), atoms (propositional variables) evaluate to true or false, and in the evaluation of a compound statement, the first evaluation result of each atom is memorised. Hence, MSCL is 'Non-commutative propositional logic with short-circuit evaluation' and atomic evaluations cannot cause a side effect. Next, we consider the case that atoms can also evaluate to the truth value 'undefined'. For two- and three-valued MSCL, we present evaluation trees as an intuitive semantics and provide complete independent equational axiomatisations.","PeriodicalId":38573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics","volume":"65 1","pages":"234 - 278"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85777355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inconsistency measures for propositional logic have been studied since the early 2000s by AI researchers. This paper introduces inconsistency measures for three branching time logics: ABTL, BBTL, and CBTL. In order to measure inconsistency properly in branching time logics, the semantics differs from the standard semantics using the construction of a canonical tree. ABTL extends propositional logic by three pairs of unary operators: next time, path, and eventually. BBTL adds a pair of binary Until operators that can be applied only to propositional logic formulas. CBTL adds the propositional connectives to BBTL formulas. Propositional logic inconsistency measures are extended to these logics and examples of the computation are given. These measures are shown to satisfy intuitively the concepts involved in the branching time logic operators unlike direct extensions of propositional logic inconsistency measures.","PeriodicalId":38573,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Non-Classical Logics","volume":"3 1","pages":"85 - 107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82923241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we investigate Anderson and Belnap’s relevance logic R with the extra axiom: (p → q) ∨ (q → p), which we name LR, and which is (much) weaker than RM, and so is not pretabular.
