Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)The goal of this article is to design a uniform proof-theoretical framework encompassing classical, non-monotonic and paraconsistent logic. This framework is obtained by the control sets logical device, a syntactical apparatus for controlling derivations. Abasic feature of control sets is that of leaving the underlying syntax of a proof system unchanged, while affecting the very combinatorial structure of sequents and proofs. We prove the cut-elimination theorem for a version of controlled propositional classical logic, i. e. the sequent calculus for classical propositional logic to which a suitable system of control sets is applied. Finally, we outline the skeleton of a new (positive) account of non- monotonicity and paraconsistency in terms of concurrent processes.2712140FAPESP Post-Doc Grant, Sao Paulo State, Brazil [2013/22371-0]Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)
