Geometric Ordering of Concepts, Logical Disjunction, and Learning by Induction
In many of the abstract geometric models which have been used to represent concepts and their relationships, regions possessing some cohesive property such as convexity or linearity have played a significant role. When the implication or containment relationship is used as an ordering relationship in such models, this gives rise to logical operators for which the disjunction of two concepts is ...

We consider various postulates which have been proposed to characterize truthmaking, in particular, the Disjunction Thesis (DT), that whatever makes a disjunction true must make one or other disjunct true. In conjunction with certain ...

Both legal systems have the...
