The goal of the current study is to suggest a novel paradigm of epistemic modal operator originated from the disjunction. Our main data is Korean disjunction operator nka which forms a non-factual question. Examining how the modal effect in question is induced by nka, I propose that the prerequisite of nka brings about non-homogenous nonveridical (i.e. modal) spaces partitioned in equipoised ep...

Given a network of processes G, where each process has a fixed input bit , Input(x), the disjunction problem is for each process to compute Output = ∨ x∈G Input(x), the disjunction of all input bits in the network. A distributed solution to the disjunction problem is a distributed algorithm which computes an output bit for each process, such that all output bits are equal to Output. The solutio...

We consider the problem of moral disjunction in professional and business activities from a virtue-ethical perspective. Moral arises when behavioral demands role conflict with personal morality; it is an important because most people modern societies occupy several complex roles that can cause this clash to occur. argue disjunction, psychological mechanisms use cope it, are problematic they mak...

Sentences with disjunction in the scope of a universal quantifier, Every A is P or Q, tend to give rise to distributive inferences that each of the disjuncts holds of at least one individual in the domain of the quantifier, Some A is P & Some A is Q. These inferences are standardly derived as an entailment of the meaning of the sentence together with the scalar implicature that it is not the ca...

The correspondence theory of truth has experienced something of a revival recently in the form of the Truthmaker Axiom: whatever is true, something makes it true. 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 ...
