An early version of Section 2 was formerly a part of arXiv:1312.2575", "categories": [ "math.LO" ], "abstract": "Three classes of models of QHC, the joint logic of problems and propositions, are constructed and analyzed, including a class of sheaf models that is closely related to solutions of some actual mathematical problems (such as solutions of algebraic equations) and combines the familiar Leibniz-Euler-Venn semantics of classical logic with a BHK-type semantics of intuitionistic logic. We also describe a first-order theory T over QHC intended to capture the spirit of the ancient Greek tradition of geometry, as presented in Euclid's \"Elements\". The ancients observed, in what was presumably a consensus view emerging from an earlier debate, a distinction between problems and postulates vs. theorems and axioms (which can also be inferred from the grammar of Euclid's text) and the logical interdependence between the two realms. T formalizes this in terms of the connectives ! and ? of QHC. The purely classical fragment of T is shown to coincide with Tarski's weak elementary geometry, and the purely intuitionistic one with Beeson's \"intuitionistic Tarski geometry\".", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-04-13T22:13:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "intuitionistic logic", "galois connection", "tarskis weak elementary geometry", "ancient greek tradition", "familiar leibniz-euler-venn semantics" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 39, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150403379M" } } }
