Abstract

To specify, verify, and reason about various reciprocal relationships in a human society and/or a cyber space, we need a right fundamental logic system to provide us with a criterion of logical validity of reasoning as well as a representation and specification language. This paper proposes a new family of conservative extensions of relevant logic, named “reciprocal logic,” for specifying, verifying, and reasoning about reciprocal relationships. The paper shows that various reciprocal logics can be obtained by introducing predicates and related axioms about reciprocal relationships into strong relevant logics and spatial-temporal relevant logics. A case study is focused on trust relationships.
