The Value of the Four Values
In his well-known paper \How computer should think" ((Be77b]) Belnap argues that four valued semantics is a very suitable setting for computerized reasoning. In this paper we vindicate this thesis by showing that the logical role that the four-valued structure has among Ginsberg's well-known bilattices is similar to the role that the two-valued algebra has among Boolean algebras. Speciically, w...
متن کاملBitopology and Four-valued Logic
Bilattices and d-frames are two different kinds of structures with a four-valued interpretation. Whereas d-frames were introduced with their topological semantics in mind, the theory of bilattices has a closer connection with logic. We consider a common generalisation of both structures and show that this not only still has a clear bitopological semantics, but that it also preserves most of the...
متن کاملD 1 . 2 . 4 Inconsistency - tolerant Reasoning with Networked Ontologies
In this deliverable, we discuss the problem of reasoning with inconsistent networked ontologies. We first extend the semantics of description logic ALC with a four-valued semantics. This will allow us to reasoning with inconsistent ontologies non-trivially. We implement an algorithm for reasoning with the four-valued semantics and provide a prototype. We then propose a bilatticebased semantics ...
متن کاملThe logic of distributive bilattices
Bilattices, introduced by Ginsberg [26] as a uniform framework for inference in Artificial Intelligence, are algebraic structures that proved useful in many fields. In recent years, Arieli and Avron [3] developed a logical system based on a class of bilattice-based matrices, called logical bilattices, and provided a Gentzen-style calculus for it. This logic is essentially an expansion of the we...
متن کاملPoset-based Triangle: An Improved Alternative for Bilattice-based Triangle
Bilattice-based triangle provides elegant algebraic structure for reasoning with vague and uncertain information. But the truth and knowledge ordering of intervals in bilattice-based triangle can not deal with nonmonotonic reasoning and are not always intuitive. In this work, we construct an alternative algebraic structure, namely poset-based triangle and we provide with proper logical connecti...
