The vertical non-uniqueness conjecture for PC connectives outside PU
The vertical non-uniqueness conjecture for PC connectives outside PU
Let and be the classes of connectives defined in the paper. Let vertical interderivability mean that, for a connective , the corresponding labelled sequents involving and its companion connective derive one another in the relevant dimension. A connective is vertically unique when it satisfies this interderivability condition.
Vertical non-uniqueness conjecture. For every connective , if but , then is not vertically interderivable, and hence is non-unique according to Definition 16.
The conjecture would classify all connectives in as non-unique under the paper's preferred Belnap-style notion. The source states that proof-search complexity prevents establishing it and leaves it for future research.
