Two Manuscripts, One by Routley, One by Meyer: The Origins of the Routley-Meyer Semantics for Relevance Logics

Abstract: A ternary relation is often used nowadays to interpret an implication connective of a logic, a practice that became dominant in the semantics of relevance logics.  This paper examines two early manuscripts --- one by Routley, another by Meyer --- in which they were developing set-theoretic semantics for various relevance logics.  A standard presentation of a ternary relational semantics for, let us say, the logic of relevant implication R is quite illuminating, yet the invention of this semantics was fraught w… Show more

“…where we have the (unordered) pair of x and y on the one hand, and the z on the other. The fact that this is an unordered pair, and not a set is important, because when we consider Rxxz what we have is [x, x]Rz, 9 Mares' monograph Relevant Logic [31, p. 210] gives a definition of frames for R + using this generalisation of the ternary relation. This shifted perspective on R comes with advantages.…”

“…This generalisation into an arbitrary n-ary relation, where n ≥ 3 is extremely natural, and conditions on R 2 and still higher orders of R play a role in the specification of various substructural logics. 9 Our attempt to understand the phenomenon of higher order accessibility relationsand how they relate to each other-is the starting point for a new, simpler characterisation of frame semantics for substructural logics. In the next section we will start with one case, frames for the logics RW + and R + .…”
