A key component in adaptive immunity is the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) that codes for molecules with antigen presentation function. READ MORE

7. 5. A Natural Interpretation of Classical Proofs

   Author : Jens Brage; Per Martin-Löf; Sara Negri; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Brouwer-Heyting-Kolmogorov; classical logic; constructive type theory; constructive semantics; proof interpretation; double-negation; continuation-passing-style; natural deduction; sequent calculus; cut elimination; explicit substitution; Mathematical logic; Matematisk logik;

   Abstract : In this thesis we use the syntactic-semantic method of constructive type theory to give meaning to classical logic, in particular Gentzen's LK.We interpret a derivation of a classical sequent as a derivation of a contradiction from the assumptions that the antecedent formulas are true and that the succedent formulas are false, where the concepts of truth and falsity are taken to conform to the corresponding constructive concepts, using function types to encode falsity.
