Completeness of LCOI+PLCOI under an Alternative Implication Function

Determine whether there exists a binary function \(\mathcal{R}\) such that the completeness theorem holds for the logic LCOI+PLCOI with continuous-valued semantics.

Background

The paper introduces continuous-valued semantics for the logic LCOI+PLCOI, whose formulas receive truth values in the interval [0,1][0,1]. To establish soundness, the authors select the implication function Ro\mathcal{R}_o and prove that all axioms are λ\lambda-tautologies and that the resulting system is sound.

For this particular implication function, the paper explicitly states that completeness fails. The unresolved issue is whether some other binary implication function R:[0,1]2→[0,1]\mathcal{R}:[0,1]^2\to[0,1] can yield a complete continuous-valued semantics for LCOI+PLCOI. The problem concerns the alignment between semantic consequence and formal derivability in the proposed three-negation logic.

References

We need to point out that when  = o, it can be verified that the completeness theorem for LCOI+PLCOI does not hold. Whether there exists a specific  such that the completeness theorem for LCOI+PLCOI holds will be discussed in another article.
