A two-tiered propositional framework for handling multi source inconsistent information
Résumé
This paper proposes a conceptually simple but expressive framework for handling propositional information stemming from several sources, namely a two-tiered propositional logic augmented with classical modal axioms (BC-logic), a fragment of the non-normal modal logic EMN, whose semantics is expressed in terms of two-valued monotonic set-functions called Boolean capacities. We present a theorem-preserving translation of Belnap logic in this setting. As special cases, we can recover previous translations of three-valued logics such as Kleene and Priest logics. Our translation bridges the gap between Belnap logic, epistemic logic, and theories of uncertainty like possibility theory or belief functions, and paves the way to a unified approach to various inconsistency handling methods.
