Extract

The purpose of this paper is to present a very versatile family of logical systems of positional or topological logic. These systems—obtained by generalizing the existing systems of chronological logic—are to have a very general nature, capable of reflecting the characteristics of a wide range of logical systems, including not only chronological (also temporal or tense) logic, but also what we may call locative or place logic, and even a logic of “possible worlds”.
