arXiv:2607. 16715v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study Controlled Query Evaluation (CQE), a declarative approach to confidentiality-preserving data access, in the context of Description Logic (DL) ontologies, and for confidentiality policies expressed through Epistemic Dependencies (EDs).
arXiv:2607. 10880v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We extend, in Isabelle/HOL, the deep-and-shallow embedding methodology of our prior work from propositional to first-order modal logic (FML) with constant-domain Kripke semantics.
Recent work in defeasible reasoning has seen notions of preferential semantics and entailment in the style of Kraus et al. applied to modal logics.
arXiv:2605. 05368v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Information is one of the most widely-discussed concepts of the current era.
The paper presents three Isabelle/HOL embeddings of monadic second‑order logic (MSO): a deep embedding, a maximal‑shallow embedding, and a minimal‑shallow embedding that collapses formulas to bool. It introduces a two‑sorted substitution system that ensures capture‑avoiding substitution and proves the faithfulness of all embeddings. A fully mechanised two‑sorted downward Löwenheim‑Skolem theorem is established, showing that the minimal embedding recovers deep validity relative to countable assignments and aligns with both the general (Henkin‑style) and standard readings of MSO, while also demonstrating differences in classical MSO properties across the embeddings.
arXiv:2607. 09032v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum logic is usually presented as a non-classical departure from ordinary reasoning forced on us by quantum mechanics, with classical logic kept as the secure starting point.
