Abstract:
It is unknown whether the logic of propositional formulas that are realizable in the sense of Kleene has a finite or recursive axiomatization. In this paper, another approach to the realizability of propositional formulas is studied. This approach is based on the following informal idea: a formula is realizable if it has a “simple” realization for each substitution. More precisely, logical connectives are interpreted as operations on the sets of natural numbers, and a formula is interpreted as a combined operation; if some sets are substituted for variables, then elements of the result are called realizations. A realization (a natural number) is simple if it has low Kolmogorov complexity, and a formula is called realizable if it has at least one simple realization whatever sets are substituted. Similar definitions can be formulated in arithmetic terms. A few “realizabilities” of this kind are considered, and it is proved that all of them give the same finitely axiomatizable logic, namely, the logic of weak excluded middle. The proof uses characterizations of superintuitionistic logics with an intuitionistic positive fragment that was obtained in 1960s by Medvedev and Yankov.
