Heyting algebra
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: Heyting algebras
Etymology: After Dutch mathematician Arend Heyting, who developed the theory as a way of modelling his intuitionistic logic.
Senses: examples: text: The laws of Heyting algebra embody a rich and profound mathematical structure that is manifest in a variety of contexts. It arises from the epistemological deliberations of Brouwer, the topologisation (localisation) of set-theoretic notions, and the categorial formulation of set theory, all of which, although interrelated, are independently motivated. The ubiquity lends weight, not to the suggestion that the correct logic is in fact intuitionistic instead of classical, but rather to the recognition that thinking in such terms is simply inappropriate — in the same way that it is inappropriate to speak without qualification about the correct geometry.
ref: 1984, Robert Goldblatt, Topoi, the categorial analysis of logic, page xii:
text: which is just obvious.
ref: 1994, Francis Borceux, Handbook of Categorical Algebra 3: Categories of Sheaves, Cambridge University Press, page 13, Proposition 1.2.14 should certainly be completed by the observation that the modus ponens holds as well in every Heyting algebra. Since, in the intuitionistic propositional calculus, being a true formula is being a terminal object (see proof of 1.1.3), the modus ponens of a Heyting algebra reduces to a=1 and a<b imply b=1

The main contention of this paper is that Heyting algebras, and related structures, provide elegant and natural theories of parthood and boundary which have close connections to the above three ontologies.

glosses: A bounded lattice, L, modified to serve as a model for a logical calculus by being equipped with a binary operation called "implies", denoted → (sometimes ⊃ or ⇒), defined such that (a→b)∧a ≤ b and, moreover, that x = a→b is the greatest element such that x∧a ≤ b (in the sense that if c∧a ≤ b then c ≤ a→b).
