In fact, for the binary accessibility relation R on X equal to the binary partial order-
ing '
' which is reflexive and transitive, we obtain the S4 modal framework with
the universal modal quantifier
, defined by
6.
M |= b φ) ,
so that from 4. and 5. we obtain for the inuitionistic implication and negation that
M |= a
φ iff
b(a
b implies
¬ c are the classical
(standard) propositional implication and negation, respectively. Thus, we extend V
to any given formula φ by V(φ)
is equal to
c and
¬
is equal to
¬ c , where
c and
={
a
| M |= a φ
}∈
H(W) and say that φ is true in
M
if V(φ)
=
W . Consequently, the complex algebra of the truth values is a Heyting
algebra:
7. H (W)
=
(H(W),
,
,
,
h ,
¬ h ,
,W) ,
where
h is a relative pseudo-complement in H(W) and
¬ h is a pseudo-
¬ h (S)
=
h
complement such that for any hereditary subset S
H(W) ,
S
(the
empty set
is the bottom element in the truth-value lattice (H(W),
,
,
) , corre-
sponding to falsity; thus, a formula φ is false in
M
if V(φ)
=∅
).
Let φ be a propositional formula, F be a Kripke frame,
M
be a model on F, and
K be a class of Kripke frames, then:
(a) We say that φ is true in
M
, and write
M |= φ ,if
M |= a φ for every a W (i.e.,
if V(φ) = W );
(b) We say that φ is valid in the frame F, and write F |=
=
φ ,if V(φ)
W for every
valuation V on F. We denote by Log( F )
={
φ
| F |=
φ
}
the set of all formulae
that are valid in F;
(c) We say that φ is valid in K, and write K
|=
φ ,ifF |=
φ for every F
K.
Analogously, let H
=
(W,
,
,
,,
¬
, 0 , 1 ) be a Heyting algebra. A function
v :
W is called a valuation into this Heyting algebra. We extend the valuation
from PR to all propositional formulae via the recursive definition:
PR
v(φ
ψ)
=
v(φ)
v(ψ),
v(φ
ψ)
=
v(φ)
v(ψ),
v(φ
ψ)
=
v(φ) v(ψ).
=
Aformula φ is true in H under v if v(φ)
1; φ is valid into H if φ is true for every
valuation in H , denoted by H
φ . Algebraic completeness means that a formula φ
is HA -valid iff it is valid in every Heyting algebra:
8. φ is HA -valid iff
|=
IL φ .
The “soundness” part of 8. consists in showing that the axioms 1-11 are HA -valid
and that Modus Ponens inference preserves this property (in fact, if for a given
valuation v , v(φ)
1).
The completeness of IL w.r.t. HA -validity can be shown by the Lindenbaum-
Tarski algebra method by establishing the equivalence relation
=
v(φ
ψ)
=
1 then v(φ)
v(ψ) so v(ψ)
=
IL for the IL-
formulae ( IPC ), as follows:
9. φ
ψ ).
The Lindenbaum algebra for IL is then the quotient Heyting algebra
IL ψ iff
IL φ
ψ and
IL ψ
φ (i.e., iff
IL φ
H IL =
( IPC IL ,
