Normative implications

Abstract: We continue to develop a research line initiated in \cite{wollic22}, studying I/O logic from an algebraic approach based on subordination algebras. We introduce the classes of slanted (co-)Heyting algebras as equivalent presentations of distributive lattices with subordination relations. Interpreting subordination relations as the algebraic counterparts of input/output relations on formulas yields (slanted) modal operations with interesting deontic interpretations. We study the theory of slanted and co-slanted Heyting algebras, develop algorithmic correspondence and inverse correspondence, and present some deontically meaningful axiomatic extensions and examples.
