Provability Logics for Relative Interpretability

  • Chapter
Mathematical Logic

Abstract

In this paper the system IL for relative interpretability described in Visser (1988) is studied.1 In IL formulae A ⊳ B (read: A interprets B) are added to the provability logic L. The intended interpretation of a formula A ⊳ B in an (arithmetical) theory T is: T + B is relatively interpretable in T + A. The system has been shown to be sound with respect to such arithmetical interpretations (Švejdar 1983, Montagna 1984, Visser 1986, 1988P).
