generalized toposes with many-valued logic subobject classifiers (Topic)

Generalized toposes

Introduction

Generalized topoi (toposes) with many-valued algebraic logic subobject classifiers are specified by the associated categories of algebraic logics previously defined as $LM_n$ , that is, non-commutative lattices with $n$ logical values, where $n$ can also be chosen to be any cardinal, including infinity, etc.

Algebraic category of $LM_n$ logic algebras

\Lukasiewicz logic algebras were constructed by Grigore Moisil in 1941 to define `nuances' in logics, or many-valued logics, as well as 3-state control logic (electronic) circuits. \Lukasiewicz-Moisil ($LM_n$ ) logic algebras were defined axiomatically in 1970, in ref. [1], as n-valued logic algebra representations and extensions of the \Lukasiewcz (3-valued) logics; then, the universal properties of categories of $LM_n$ -logic algebras were also investigated and reported in a series of recent publications ([2] and references cited therein). Recently, several modifications of $LM_n$ -logic algebras are under consideration as valid candidates for representations of quantum logics, as well as for modeling non-linear biodynamics in genetic `nets' or networks ([3]), and in single-cell organisms, or in tumor growth. For a recent review on $n$ -valued logic algebras, and major published results, the reader is referred to [2].

The category $\mathcal{LM}$ of \Lukasiewicz-Moisil, $n$ -valued logic algebras ($LM_n$ ), and $LM_n$ -lattice morphisms, $\lambda_{LM_n}$ , was introduced in 1970 in ref. [1] as an algebraic category tool for $n$ -valued logic studies. The objects of $\mathcal{LM}$ are the non-commutative $LM_n$ lattices and the morphisms of $\mathcal{LM}$ are the $LM_n$ -lattice morphisms as defined next.

Definition 1.1  

A $n$ -valued \Lukasiewicz-Moisil algebra, ($LM_{n}$ -algebra) is a structure of the form $(L,\vee,\wedge,N,(\phii)_{i\in\{1,\ldots,n-1\}},0,1)$ , subject to the following axioms:

  • (L1) $(L,\vee,\wedge,N,0,1)$ is a de Morgan algebra, that is, a bounded distributive lattice with a decreasing involution $N$ satisfying the de Morgan property $N({x\vee y})=Nx\wedge Ny$ ;
  • (L2) For each $i\in\{1,\ldots,n-1\}$ , $\phii:L\lra L$ is a lattice endomorphism; % latex2html id marker 2112 $ \fnsymbol{footnote}$
  • (L3) For each $i\in\{1,\ldots,n-1\},x\in L$ , $\phii(x)\vee N{\phii(x)}=1$ and $\phii(x)\wedge N{\phii(x)}=0$ ;
  • (L4) For each $i,j\in\{1,\ldots,n-1\}$ , $\phii\circ\phi_{j}=\phi_{k}$ iff $(i+j)= k$ ;
  • (L5) For each $i,j\in\{1,\ldots,n-1\}$ , $i\leq j$ implies $\phii\leq\phi_{j}$ ;
  • (L6) For each $i\in\{1,\ldots,n-1\}$ and $x\in L$ , $\phii(N x)=N\phi_{n-i}(x)$ .
  • (L7) Moisil's `determination principle': $$\left[\orc i\in\{1,\ldots,n-1\},\;\phii(x)=\phii(y)\right] \; implies \; [x = y] \;$$ [1,2].
Example 1.1   Let $L_n=\{0,1/(n-1),\ldots,(n-2)/(n-1),1\}$ . This set can be naturally endowed with an $\mbox{LM}_n$ -algebra structure as follows:
Note that, for $n=2$ , $L_n=\{0,1\}$ , and there is only one Chrysippian endomorphism of $L_n$ is $\phi_1$ , which is necessarily restricted by the determination principle to a bijection, thus making $L_n$ a Boolean algebra (if we were also to disregard the redundant bijection $\phi_1$ ). Hence, the `overloaded' notation $L_2$ , which is used for both the classical Boolean algebra and the two-element $\mbox{LM}_2$ -algebra, remains consistent.
Example 1.2   Consider a Boolean algebra $(B,\v,\w,{}^-,0,1)$ . Let $T(B)=\{(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\in B^{n-1}\mid x_1\leq\ldots\leq x_{n-1}\}$ . On the set $T(B)$ , we define an $\mbox{LM}_n$ -algebra structure as follows:
  • the lattice operations, as well as $0$ and $1$ , are defined component-wise from $\Ld$ ;
  • for each $(x_1,\ldots,x_{n-1})\in T(B)$ and $i\in\{1,\ldots,n-1\}$ one has:
    $N(x_1,\ldots x_{n-1})=(\ov{x_{n-1}},\ldots,\ov{x_1})$ and $\phii(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=(x_i,\ldots,x_i) .$
