BSML Classical Validities #
@cite{aloni-2022}
BSML preserves several classical validities despite its non-classical bilateral semantics. This module proves the key equivalences from @cite{aloni-2022} and formalizes the non-classical properties of bilateral negation.
Key Results #
| Result | Statement |
|---|---|
| DNE (Fact 6) | ¬¬φ ≡ φ (already in Defs.lean) |
| Box-Diamond (Fact 6) | □φ ≡ ¬◇¬φ (definitional: □ is an abbreviation) |
| De Morgan (Fact 6) | ¬(φ ∧ ψ) ≡ ¬φ ∨ ¬ψ; ¬(φ ∨ ψ) ≡ ¬φ ∧ ¬ψ |
| Incompatibility (Fact 7) | s ⊨ ¬φ ⇒ s∩t=∅ for all t ⊨ φ |
| Replacement failure (Fact 8) | φ ≡ ψ ⇏ ¬φ ≡ ¬ψ (counterexample) |
Facts 6 proofs are definitional. Fact 7 connects to the philosophy of negation as incompatibility. Fact 8 demonstrates NE's non-classical behavior.
Box-diamond duality (anti-support): definitionally equal.
De Morgan for conjunction (support): ¬(φ ∧ ψ) ≡ ¬φ ∨ ¬ψ. Both sides reduce to the same SPLIT existential.
De Morgan for conjunction (anti-support).
De Morgan for disjunction (anti-support).
DNE is a full bilateral equivalence.
Box-diamond duality is a full bilateral equivalence.
De Morgan for conjunction is a full bilateral equivalence.
De Morgan for disjunction is a full bilateral equivalence.
Negation and incompatibility (Fact 7 from @cite{aloni-2022}).
If s supports ¬φ, then s and any t supporting φ are disjoint.
Failure of replacement under negation (Fact 8 from @cite{aloni-2022}).
In BSML, φ ≡ ψ does NOT imply ¬φ ≡ ¬ψ. Counterexample: ⊥₁ = p ∧ ¬p and ⊥₂ = ¬NE are equivalent, but ¬⊥₁ ≠ ¬⊥₂.
