... Def.: Let p and q be two arbitrary propositions, the implication pq is false when p is false and q is true, and true otherwise. p q is true when p is true and q is true, q is true, or p is false. p q is false when p is true and q is false. Example: r : “The dog is barking.” s : “The dog is awak ...

Their logical structure differs only with respect to the negation of the antecedent; thus, one implication is the negation of the other. (c) Why does q license existenti ...

A proposition P logically implies a proposition Q, P ⇒ Q, if in every case P is true then Q is also true. Beware of ...

FIRST DEGREE ENTAILMENT, SYMMETRY AND PARADOX
... First Degree Entailment (fde) is a logic well suited to fixed point solutions to the paradoxes. Perhaps it is too well suited, because it allows paradoxical sentences to be evaluated in two distinct ways: Paradoxical sentences can be assigned the value n (neither true nor false: {}) or b (both true ...

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1 Mathematical Paradoxes
... A more radical interpretation of the paradoxes has been advocated by Brower and his intuitionist school. They refuse to accept the universality of certain basic logical laws, such as the law of excluded middle: A or not A. Such a law, they claim, is true for finite sets, but it is invalid to extend ...
