Strong completeness of S4 wrt the real line
نویسنده
چکیده
In the topological semantics for modal logic, S4 is well-known to be complete wrt the rational line and wrt the real line: these are special cases of S4’s completeness wrt any dense-in-itself metric space. The construction used to prove completeness can be slightly amended to show that S4 is not only complete, but strongly complete, wrt the rational line. But no similarly easy amendment is available for the real line. In another paper, we prove that S4 is, in fact, strongly complete wrt any dense-in-itself metric space, the real line being a particular case. In the current paper, we give a proof of strong completeness tailored to the particular case of the real line: we believe that it usefully clarifies matters to work through a particular and important example. We proceed in two steps: first, we show that S4 is strongly complete wrt the space of finite and infinite binary sequences, equipped with the Scott topology; and then we show that there is an interior map from the real line to this space.

Strong Completeness of S4 for any Dense-in-Itself Metric Space
In the topological semantics for modal logic, S4 is well-known to be complete for the rational line, for the real line, and for Cantor space: these are special cases of S4’s completeness for any dense-in-itself metric space. The construction used to prove completeness can be slightly amended to show that S4 is not only complete, but also strongly complete, for the rational line. But no similarl...
متن کاملTopological completeness of extensions of S4
Perhaps the most celebrated topological completeness result in modal logic is the McKinseyTarski theorem that if we interpret modal diamond as topological closure, then S4 is complete for the real line or indeed any dense-in-itself separable metrizable space [10]. This result was proved before relational semantics for modal logic was introduced. In the last 15 years, utilizing relational semant...
متن کاملFractal Completeness Techniques in Topological Modal Logic: Koch Curve, Limit Tree, and the Real Line
This paper explores the connection between fractal geometry and topological modal logic. In the early 1940’s, Tarski showed that the modal logic S4 can be interpreted in topological spaces. Since then, many interesting completeness results in the topological semantics have come to light, and renewed interest in this semantics can be seen in such recent papers as [1], [2], [3], [4], and [7]. In ...
متن کاملCompleteness of S4 with respect to the real line: revisited
We prove that S4 is complete with respect to Boolean combinations of countable unions of convex subsets of the real line, thus strengthening a 1944 result of McKinsey and Tarski (Ann. of Math. (2) 45 (1944) 141). We also prove that the same result holds for the bimodal system S4 + S5 + C, which is a strengthening of a 1999 result of Shehtman (J. Appl. Non-Classical Logics 9 (1999) 369). © 2004 ...
متن کاملQuantified Modal Logic on the Rational Line
In the topological semantics for propositional modal logic, S4 is known to be complete for the class of all topological spaces, for the rational line, for Cantor space, and for the real line. In the topological semantics for quantified modal logic, QS4 is known to be complete for the class of all topological spaces, and for the family of subspaces of the irrational line. The main result of the ...
