In mathematical logic , the ancestral relation often shortened to ancestral of an arbitrary binary relation R is defined below. The ancestral makes its first appearance in Frege s Begriffsschrift . Frege later employed it in his Grundgesetze as part of his definition of the natural number s actually the finite cardinal number cardinals . Hence the ancestral was a key part of his search for a logicism logicist foundation of arithmetic. Definition The numbered propositions below are taken from his Begriffsschrift and recast in contemporary notation. The property philosophy property F is R hereditary if, whenever x is F and xRy , y is also F math Fx and xRy to Fy. math Frege then defined b to be an R ancestor of a , written aR b , iff b has every R hereditary property that all objects x such that aRx have 76 math Vdash aR b leftrightarrow forall F forall x forall y aRx to Fx wedge Fx wedge xRy to Fy to Fb math .

distinguish In mathematical logic and computer science the symbol math vdash math has taken the name turnstile because of its resemblance to a typical turnstile if viewed from above. It is also referred to as tee and is often read as yields or proves . The symbol was first used by Gottlob Frege in his 1879 book on logic, Begriffsschrift ref Gottlob Frege , Begriffsschrift Eine der arithmetischen nachgebildete Formelsprache des reinen Denkens. Halle, 1879. ref . In TeX , the turnstile symbol math vdash math is obtained from the command tt vdash tt . In Unicode , the turnstile symbol big unicode big is called right tack and is at code point U 22A2 ref http unicode.org charts PDF U2200.pdf Unicode standard ref . On a typewriter , a turnstile can be composed from a vertical bar and a dash . In LaTeX there is the http www.ctan.org tex archive macros latex contrib turnstile turnstile package , which issues this sign in many ways, and is capable of putting labels below or above it, in the correct places. The article http www.tug.org pracjourn 2007 3 buchsbaum A Tool for Logicians is a tutorial on using this package. Meaning The turnstile is a binary relation. It has several different meanings in different contexts In proof theory , the turnstile is used to denote provability. For example, if T is a formal theory and S is a particular sentence in the language of the theory then math T vdash S math means that S is provable from T ref A. S. Troelstra and H. Schwichtenberg , Basic Proof Theory , second edition, Cambridge University Press , 2000, ISBN 978 0 521 77911 1. ref . This usage is demonstrated in the article on propositional calculus . In the typed lambda calculus , the turnstile is used to separate typing assumptions from the typing judgement. ref http www.mscs.dal.ca selinger papers lambdanotes.pdf ref ref David A. Schmidt, The Structure of Typed Programming Languages, MIT Press , 1994, ISBN 0 262 19349 3 ref In the study of formal language s, the turnstile repre ... more details
The problem of multiple generality names a failure in traditional logic to describe certain intuitively valid inferences. For example, it is intuitively clear that if Some cat is feared by every mouse then it follows logically that All mice are afraid of at least one cat The syntax of traditional logic TL permits exactly four sentence types All As are Bs , No As are Bs , Some As are Bs and Some As are not Bs . Each type is a quantified sentence containing exactly one quantifier. Since the sentences above each contain two quantifiers some and every in the first sentence and all and at least one in the second sentence , they cannot be adequately represented in TL. The best TL can do is to incorporate the second quantifier from each sentence into the second term, thus rendering the artificial sounding terms feared by every mouse and afraid of at least one cat . This in effect buries these quantifiers, which are essential to the inference s validity, within the hyphenated terms. Hence the sentence Some cat is feared by every mouse is alloted the same logical form as the sentence Some cat is hungry . And so the logical form in TL is Some As are Bs All Cs are Ds which is clearly invalid. The first logical calculus capable of dealing with such inferences was Gottlob Frege s Begriffsschrift , the ancestor of modern predicate logic , which dealt with quantifiers by means of variable bindings. Modestly, Frege did not argue that his logic was more expressive than extant logical calculi, but commentators on Frege s logic regard this as one of his key achievements. Using modern predicate calculus , we quickly discover that the statement is ambiguous. Some cat is feared by every mouse could mean Some cat is feared by every mouse , i.e. For every mouse m, there exists a cat c, such that c is feared by m, math forall m. , , text Mouse m rightarrow exists c. , text Cat c land text Fears m,c , math in which case the conclusion is trivial. But it could also mean Some cat is feared by ... more details
Unreferenced date January 2009 In mathematical logic , a proof calculus corresponds to a family of formal system s that use a common style of formal inference for its inference rules . The specific inference rules of a member of such a family characterize the theory mathematical logic theory of a logic. Usually a given proof calculus encompasses more than a single particular formal system, since many proof calculi are under determining and can be used for radically different logics. For example, a paradigmatic case is the sequent calculus, which can be used to express the consequence relation s of both intuitionistic logic and relevance logic . Thus, loosely speaking, a proof calculus is a template or design pattern , characterized by a certain style of formal inference, that may be specialized to produce specific formal systems, namely by specifying the actual inference rules for such a system. There is no consensus among logicians on how best to define the term. Examples of proof calculi The most widely known proof calculi are those classical calculi that are still in widespread use The class of Hilbert system s, of which the most famous example is the 1928 Hilbert Ackermann system of first order logic Gerhard Gentzen s calculus of natural deduction , which is the first formalism of structural proof theory , and which is the cornerstone of the formulae as types correspondence relating logic to functional programming Gentzen s sequent calculus , which is the most studied formalism of structural proof theory. Many other proof calculi were, or might have been, seminal, but are not widely used today. Aristotle s syllogistic calculus, presented in the Organon , readily admits formalisation. There is still some modern interest in syllogistic, carried out under the aegis of term logic . Gottlob Frege s two dimensional notation of the Begriffsschrift is usually regarded as introducing the modern concept of quantifier to logic. Charles Sanders Peirce C.S. Peirce s existent ... more details

No footnotes date September 2010 Metamathematics is the study of mathematics itself using mathematical methods. This study produces metatheory metatheories , which are mathematical theories about other mathematical theories. Metamathematical metatheorem s about mathematics itself were originally differentiated from ordinary mathematical theorem s in the 19th century, to focus on what was then called the foundational crisis of mathematics . Richard s paradox Richard 1905 concerning certain definitions of real numbers in the English language is an example of the sort of contradictions which can easily occur if one fails to distinguish between mathematics and metamathematics. The term metamathematics is sometimes used as a synonym for certain elementary parts of formal logic , including propositional logic and predicate logic . History Metamathematics was intimately connected to mathematical logic , so that the early histories of the two fields, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, largely overlap. More recently, mathematical logic has often included the study of new pure mathematics, such as set theory , recursion theory and pure model theory , which is not directly related to metamathematics. Serious metamathematical reflection began with the work of Gottlob Frege , especially his Begriffsschrift . David Hilbert was the first to invoke the term metamathematics with regularity see Hilbert s program . In his hands, it meant something akin to contemporary proof theory , in which finitary methods are used to study various axiomatized mathematical theorems. Other prominent figures in the field include Bertrand Russell , Thoralf Skolem , Emil Post , Alonzo Church , Stephen Kleene , Willard Quine , Paul Benacerraf , Hilary Putnam , Gregory Chaitin , Alfred Tarski and Kurt G del . In particular, arguably the greatest achievement of metamathematics and the philosophy of mathematics to date is Godel s incompleteness theorems G del s incompleteness theorem proof that ... more details

More footnotes date May 2010 The Calculus Ratiocinator is a theoretical universal logical calculation framework, a concept described in the writings of Gottfried Leibniz , usually paired with his more frequently mentioned characteristica universalis , a universal conceptual language. Two views There are two contrasting points of view on what Leibniz meant by calculus ratiocinator . The first is associated with computer software , the second is associated with computer hardware . The analytic view The received point of view in analytic philosophy and formal logic , is that the calculus ratiocinator anticipates mathematical logic &mdash an algebra of logic . ref Fearnley Sander 1982 p.164 ref The analytic point of view understands that the calculus ratiocinator is a formal inference engine what makes an inference engine formal or informal or computer program which can be designed so as to grant primacy to calculations. That logic began with Frege s 1879 Begriffsschrift and Charles Sanders Peirce C.S. Peirce s writings on logic in the 1880s. Frege intended his concept script to be a calculus ratiocinator as well as a lingua characteristica . That part of formal logic relevant to the calculus comes under the heading of proof theory . From this perspective the calculus ratiocinator is only a part or a subset of the universal characteristic , and a complete universal characteristic includes a logical calculus . The synthetic view A contrasting point of view stems from Herbert Spencer Synthetic philosophy synthetic philosophy and fields such as cybernetics , electronic engineering and general systems theory . It is little appreciated in analytic philosophy. The synthetic view understands the calculus ratiocinator as referring to a calculating machine . The cybernetician Norbert Wiener considered Leibniz s calculus ratiocinator a forerunner to the modern day digital computer cquote The history of the modern computing machine goes back to Leibniz and Pascal.
