Semantics in Banach spaces

From MaRDI portal





The aim of this paper is to call attention of logicians and philosophers to the possibility of formulating semantics in terms of functional analysis concepts. A new approach to semantics is proposed, whose basic concept is that of an ordered Banach space. This formulation of semantics arises as a natural generalization of the Giles' approach to belief structures and, at the same time, of the so-called fuzzy extensions of Boolean as well as of non-Boolean semantics. Finally, it should be remarked that some independent motivation for applications of ordered Banach spaces in semantics can be found in the so-called operational approach to the foundations of quantum mechanics.
