Abstract: Many-valued logics in general, and fuzzy logics in particular, usually focus on a notion of consequence based on preservation of full truth, typical represented by the value 1 in the semantics given the real unit interval [0,1]. In a recent paper (emph{Foundations of Reasoning with Uncertainty via Real-valued Logics}, arXiv:2008.02429v2, 2021), Ronald Fagin, Ryan Riegel, and Alexander Gray have introduced a new paradigm that allows to deal with inferences in propositional real-valued logics based on multi-dimensional sentences that allow to prescribe any truth-values, not just 1, for the premises and conclusion of a given entailment. In this paper, we extend their work to the first-order (as well as modal) logic of multi-dimensional sentences. We give axiomatic systems and prove corresponding completeness theorems, first assuming that the structures are defined over a fixed domain, and later for the logics of varying domains. As a by-product, we also obtain a 0-1 law for finitely-valued versions of these logics.
