A two dimensional tense-modal sortal logic (Q2454876)

This paper consists of five parts. After some introductory remarks, in Section 2 outlines of conceptual realism are sketched. These remarks are intended to motivate the semantical definition in Section 3 of a two-dimensional modal and temporal predicate logic with relative (sortal) identity, first-order sortal quantification, and second-order quantification over sorts. In Section 4 an axiom system for the language under con\-sideration is presented. The main part of the paper, Section 5, then consists of proofs of soundness and completeness with respect to the semantics of Section 3.
