Conradie, WillemClingman, R.2024-05-162024-05-162023https://hdl.handle.net/10539/38483A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science.This masters study builds upon recent research in polarity-based semantics for non-distributive modal logics (NDMLs). Current formulations of polarity-based semantics for NDML impose compatibility requirements on additional relations of polarity-based frames, hindering applicability of the semantics, as arbitrary frames need not be compatible. In this study we develop a polarity-based semantics for NDML with modalites that are, in general, neither normal nor distributive and without the imposition of compatibility requirements. We provide a sound and complete axiomatization of this logic. The second half of the thesis focuses on a special class of enriched polarities, those who are in a sense liftings of Kripke frames. The compatibility of these liftings combined with the intuitive nature of the underlying Kripke frames makes for a useful case study in which to explore p-morphisms between enriched polarities, and enriched polarity-based models, from a relational perspective.en© 2023 University of the Witwatersrand, JohannesburgModal logicLogicNon-distributive modal logicNon-classic logicSDG-17: Partnerships for the goalsOn polarity-based semantics for non-distributive modal logicsDissertationUniversity of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
