• William T. Parry gets rid of Disjunction introduction

    William T. Parry, Entailment Logics
    gets rid of Disjunction introduction
    to prevent the principle of explosion

    A simple logical matrix and sequent calculus for
    Parry’s logic of Analytic Implication

    The main and distinctive feature of PAI (and of the many
    systems of analytic implication belonging to its ilk) is
    the rejection of the classically valid principle of Addition,
    sometimes also referred to as Disjunction Introduction. In
    other words, the principle leading from a formula ϕ to a
    disjunction of the form ϕ ∨ ψ, where ψ is an arbitrary
    formula. Parry blamed on this principle the derivability
    of the paradoxes of strict implication—given that it is
    famously featured in Lewis’ derivation of an arbitrary
    formula ψ from a contradiction of the form ϕ ∧ ¬ϕ.

    My 28 year goal has been to make
    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
    comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
    (a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

    My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
    expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
    language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

    (b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
    entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

    As I recently showed in another post. I figured
    all this out on my own. I didn't even know that
    anyone else ever did this. I just knew that when
    trying to find out what is deduced from a set of
    premises that you cannot pop in another sentence
    from out of nowhere and get a correct conclusion.

    By popping in another sentence from out of nowhere
    (as it shows above) the principle of explosion is
    derived.

    Given that the following statement is true:

    --------------------------------------
    There is a Walmart bag at the deepest point of the Mariana Trench. --------------------------------------

    And the following statement has an unknown truth value: --------------------------------------
    There is a Walmart bag at the deepest point of the Mariana Trench. --------------------------------------

    When put together in the following natural language sentence:

    --------------------------------------
    At least one of the following statements is true:
    - Earth is the third planet from the sun.
    - There is a Walmart bag at the deepest point of the Mariana Trench. --------------------------------------

    Is the condition "At least one of the following statements is true"
    satisfied?
