When some premises are more premise than others, the consequences are the real premises

چکیده

This paper proposes two adaptive approaches to inconsistent prioritized belief bases. Both approaches rely on a selection mechanism that is not applied to the premises as they stand, but to the consequence sets of the belief levels. One is based on classical compatibility, the other on the modal logic T of Feys. For both approaches the two main strategies of inconsistency adaptive logics are formulated: the reliability strategy and the minimal abnormality strategy. All four systems are compared and found useful.

But there is no widely accepted normative premise for global health, and the actors with the power to set policies may use...

A General Characterization of Adaptive Logics∗

This paper contains a unified characterization of adaptive logics. The general structure is presented in the simplest possible guise, both for flat and prioritized adaptive logics. The latter are presented as a special case of combined adaptive logics. The aim of the paper is to provide the general framework underlying several other papers in this volume and to prepare the unified metatheory of...

Narrowing Down Suspicion in Inconsistent Premise Sets∗

Inconsistency-adaptive logics isolate the inconsistencies that are derivable from a premise set, and restrict the rules of Classical Logic only where inconsistencies are involved. From many inconsistent premise sets, disjunctions of contradictions are derivable no disjunct of which is itself derivable. Given such a disjunction, it is often justified to introduce new premises that state, with a ...

Probabilistic opinion pooling generalized Part two: Premise-based opinion pooling

We consider the classical problem of aggregating di¤erent individuals’probability assignments (opinions) over a -algebra of events. In practice, some events represent basic propositions, such as ‘it rains’or ‘CO2 emissions cause global warming’, while others represent combinations thereof, for instance disjunctions (unions) of basic events. It is plausible to treat the basic events as premises ...
