5. Theory of Logic / A. Overview of Logic / 4. Pure Logic
|
10638
|
A pure logic is wholly general, purely formal, and directly known [Linnebo]
|
5. Theory of Logic / A. Overview of Logic / 5. First-Order Logic
|
13534
|
In first-order logic syntactic and semantic consequence (|- and |=) nicely coincide [Wolf,RS]
|
|
13535
|
First-order logic is weakly complete (valid sentences are provable); we can't prove every sentence or its negation [Wolf,RS]
|
5. Theory of Logic / G. Quantification / 6. Plural Quantification
|
10635
|
Second-order quantification and plural quantification are different [Linnebo]
|
|
10641
|
Traditionally we eliminate plurals by quantifying over sets [Linnebo]
|
|
10640
|
Instead of complex objects like tables, plurally quantify over mereological atoms tablewise [Linnebo]
|
|
10636
|
Plural plurals are unnatural and need a first-level ontology [Linnebo]
|
|
10639
|
Plural quantification may allow a monadic second-order theory with first-order ontology [Linnebo]
|
5. Theory of Logic / J. Model Theory in Logic / 1. Logical Models
|
13519
|
Model theory uses sets to show that mathematical deduction fits mathematical truth [Wolf,RS]
|
|
13533
|
First-order model theory rests on completeness, compactness, and the Löwenheim-Skolem-Tarski theorem [Wolf,RS]
|
|
13531
|
Model theory reveals the structures of mathematics [Wolf,RS]
|
|
13532
|
Model theory 'structures' have a 'universe', some 'relations', some 'functions', and some 'constants' [Wolf,RS]
|
5. Theory of Logic / J. Model Theory in Logic / 2. Isomorphisms
|
13537
|
An 'isomorphism' is a bijection that preserves all structural components [Wolf,RS]
|
5. Theory of Logic / J. Model Theory in Logic / 3. Löwenheim-Skolem Theorems
|
13539
|
The LST Theorem is a serious limitation of first-order logic [Wolf,RS]
|
5. Theory of Logic / K. Features of Logics / 4. Completeness
|
13538
|
If a theory is complete, only a more powerful language can strengthen it [Wolf,RS]
|
5. Theory of Logic / K. Features of Logics / 10. Monotonicity
|
13525
|
Most deductive logic (unlike ordinary reasoning) is 'monotonic' - we don't retract after new givens [Wolf,RS]
