This is a good summary … for mathematicians. Not so good for the philosophical 
applications.

Yes, that are the slides by Icard, which I appreciate. To be sure, it is not 
needed to understand the G* “theology”. It raised the question of formalising 
GLP* (the truth logic about the sequences of machines obeying GLP). I have some 
ideas of this, but it is very technical.

That looks quite interesting, and I might read it later. It is not related to 
the provability logic, as far as I can see.

I know the work of Leo Esakia, (and of Blok) notably his Russian paper (*) and 
it is indeed quite interesting. It provides interesting topological semantics 
for variants of K4 and GL (called G here). Icard has extended such semantics 
for the logic GLP, which is a polymodal logic axiomatising the provability 
logic on sequence of stronger and stronger theories. At each level n we have a 
box [n] obeying to G, and with the two axioms:

[n]p -> [n+1]p
p -> [n+1]p

for all n, Beklemishev has shown that this is complete for the arithmetical 
interpretation extended on this succession of theories. I use this in some more 
detailed exposition. 
In the work of Esakia, the consistency <>p becomes a special sort of abstract 
derivative. The idea of using topological model cale from the work of McKinsey 
and Tarski, in the spirit of the algebraic semantics of Helena Rasiowa and 
Roman Sikorski “The mathematics of Metamathematics” (an excellent work on 
algebraic semantics). 

The topological space, in the semantics of Esakia, are not Hausdorff spaces, 
and are rather peculiar from a topologist standpoint, but nevertheless, that 
work is quite interesting. It is a good complement of the more traditional 
Kripke or Krpke-inspired semantics (which I use much more).

Unfortunately, although this will have interesting application for the general 
theology of “growing machine”, the topology is not related directly to the 
quantum “geometry” of the “material” variant of G (the Z and X logics I have 
shown to exist here). 

But thanks for this link. I missed those slides by Icard, and some references 
therein.

Esakia died in 2010, and was responsible for the great interest in provability 
logic in Georgia (Europa).

Connection between Provability Logic (GL) and geometry?

2019-03-18 Thread Philip Thrift

Might have something of interest ...

https://mathoverflow.net/questions/325702/connection-between-provability-logic-gl-and-geometry

...

There seems to be an existing literature on topological semantics and 
provability logics. Thomas Icard has slides on this 
<http://logic.berkeley.edu/colloquium/IcardSlides.pdf>, and the Stanford 
Encyclopedia of Philosophy has a bit on the topic 
<https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-provability/#TopoSemaForProvLogi>. 
I'm not sure how related this is to the specific topological/geometric 
intuitions you give here, but it might be of interest more broadly. – Noah
