Duality ------- The dual of an object will be denoted by a prefixed co: par -> copar, rule -> corule, derivation -> coderivation, etc. Notation for contexts --------------------- [ , , ] is the "par"; ( , , ) is the "tensor" or "co-par" or "and"; < ; ; > is the "seq"; S{ } denotes a structure with a hole. The braces surrounding a context, like in S{[a,b]}, can be dropped wherever convenient, like in S[a,b]. [ , , ] and ( , , ) may be made additive (say) by the superposition of little bullets, or circles. Names of systems ---------------- Principles: 1) The main letter or letters identifying a system stay in the middle; examples: V, L (for linear logic), K (for classical logic). The main letter identifies the core, non-exponential structure of a system: for example, V stands for 2-dual-comm/1-selfdual-noncomm; W stands for 2-dual-comm/2-dual-noncomm, etc. 2) A known system in the calculus of sequents that is ported to the calculus of structures gets an S after its name; example: LS is linear logic in the calculus of structures, KS is classical logic. 3) The "big variant" letters go in front of the main ones; examples: ELS, EV. The non-exponential, non-additive part of any system is called "basic" (B). 4) Letters indicating a restriction or "small variant" of a system go in lowercase after the main ones, in alphabetical order. Example: core symmetric basic system V is SBVc. 5) The top-down symmetric variant of a system is denoted by a prefixed S, and is called the "symmetric" or "self-dual" variant. 6) Common sense is to be applied. system old name new name -------------------------------------------- multiplicative system V MV BV (becomes basic system V) symmetric multiplicative system V SMV SBV (becomes self-dual basic system V) combinatorial system V CV BV? (to be announced) elementary system V EV BV? (to be announced) flat multiplicative system V FMV FBV (becomes flat basic system V) multiplicative exponential system V MEV EV (becomes exponential system V, will be dubbed V if it's undecidable) MELL in the calculus of structures ELS classical logic KS classical logic in the self-dual presentation SC SKS Rules ----- Normally, names of rules will be one-letter, plus arrow. Super rules or other variant rules will have another letter prefixed. Example: atomic cut is ai^, super atomic cut is sai^.
