Abstract

As noted in Section 2.3, there are two types of methods for extending the ordinary sequent calculus: the first type modifies the structure of the classical sequent in a purely syntactic fashion (see the previous chapter); the second type enriches a classical sequent by adjoining semantic elements. This chapter will be entirely dedicated to the analysis of the calculi generated by means of this latter method.
