This paper sharpens the distinction between inferential and logcon arguments. Inferential arguments represent possible inferences, ones need not. clarifies roles that play in accounting for normativity of validity reasoning establishing theoretical connection logical consequence. There are two related takeaways. First, is grounded on notion an argument. will account use to judge inference face ...

Capturing business rules in a formal logic representation supports the enterprise in two important ways: it enables the evaluation of logs and audit records for conformance to, or violation of, the rules; and it enables the conforming automation of some enterprise activities. The problem is that formal logic representations of the rules are very difficult for an industry expert to read and even...

This paper presents a formal theory which describes propositional binary logic as a semantically closed formal language, and allows for syntactically and semantically well-formed formulae, formal proofs (demonstrability in Hilbertian acception), deduction (Gentzen’s view of demonstrability), CNF-ization, and deconstruction to be expressed and tested in the same (computational) formal language, ...

We relate two formerly independent areas: Formal concept analysis and logic of domains. We will establish a correspondene between contextual attribute logic on formal contexts resp. concept lattices and a clausal logic on coherent algebraic cpos. We show how to identify the notion of formal concept in the domain theoretic setting. In particular, we show that a special instance of the resolution...
