Abstract

We present a general logic of explicit knowledge represented as finite sets of logical formulae which can evolve by non-deterministic reasoning and communication. It is partly based on Alternating-time Temporal Logic, which allows the expression of properties of cooperation. Properties of an agent's reasoning mechanism such as "the agent knows modus ponens" can be expressed. Instead of a common closure condition such as "if the agent knows both p and p → q, he must also know q", the following holds: "if the agent knows p, p → q and modus ponens, he has a strategy to get to know q in the future".
