Another week, another research presentation. Coming up on Saturday, I’ll be hanging out in Munich, talking about free logic and rules for quantifiers. https://consequently.org/presentation/2024/defining-quantifiers-mcmp/

Lean has pretty nice tooling and support. That's why I used it rather than an alternative to implement a small proof-of-concept D-proof verifier for my research tool: github.com/xamidi/pmGen...
(click "a small program in Lean 4" to see what I mean)

Anybody familiar with Troelstra & Schwintenberg’s book “Basic Proof Theory”?

Tomorrow, I get to give the last of my three talks on inferentialism. It’s time to buckle up your λs, and join in the search for some unicorns…

I’m looking forward to spending time today with @ohad, @modaltype and other folks at the LFCS at Edinburgh, and getting to talk about some weird substructural modal logic.

Screw it. I’m just gonna use the pdf. This thread will contain notes on Jean-Yves Girard’s Proofs and Types.

I suppose passages will be indexed by (§, pX), where X is the page number.

I kind of want to study proof theory but one of the books I feel I should read is apparently not in print anymore and is only obtainable as either an expensive used copy or a pdf. Maybe I should just stick to model theory…

#ProofTheory / simple #typetheory question: I'm reading Troelstra & Schwichtenberg's 'Basic Proof Theory' and they discuss 'simplification contractions' on natural deductions, which cover cases where an auxiliary premise of an elimination rule does not use the local variable it is given.

e.g.if […]

I am going to make an attempt to #blog a bit again, reading and writing about papers and books, old and new, that are cited by recent work in my area. This week, we look at a #ProofTheory #logic textbook. https://blogs.fediscience.org/the-updated-scholar/2025/08/08/discussing-basic-proof-theory/

An explanation of what axioms and mathematical proofs really are. With a reference to my tool that helps exploring some of them.

What is the significance of the K-axiom in modal logic S5?
In normal modal logic S5, the K axiom says $\square (p \rightarrow q) \rightarrow (\square p \rightarrow \square q)$. First of all, is this an abuse...

It’s a cloudy and cold Tuesday, and I’m inside writing about refinement.

At least I *think* I understand what I’m doing a bit better than Mark S and his team of macrodata refiners do.

In this week's #blog I write briefly about a 2001 paper on designing lambda calculi for intuitionistic modal logic. https://blogs.fediscience.org/the-updated-scholar/2025/08/15/discussing-extended-curry-howard-correspondence-for-a-basic-constructive-modal-logic/ #logic #ModalLogic #ProofTheory […]

New: pmGenerator, since version 1.2.2, can
- compress Hilbert-style proofs via exhaustive search on user-provided proof data
- convert Fitch-style natural deduction proofs into any sufficiently explored Hilbert system

My *next* talk in this spring/summer of research combines some longstanding interests of mine (Graham Priest’s Logic of Paradox) and more recent interests (natural deduction and the sequent calculus). I bet you didn’t think that you could creatively apply Gentzen’s thoroughly standard rules of natural deduction to give you a sound and complete calculus for Priest’s LP, but it turns out that you can. https://consequently.org/presentation/2026/lp-subst-arche/ #prooftheory #NaturalDeduction #paradox #philosophy

It’s neat to see that an old (fiddly, complicated) decidability argument I wrote up in the 1990s is getting some attention. Here, Raj Goré and Anthony Peigné formalise (and generalise) my decidability argument for display formulations of some substructural logics. This is interesting work, worth looking into. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11225-026-10239-8 #logic #prooftheory #rocqprover
