IFF update



All,

This is an update on IFF development activities.

--------------------

1. Several months ago I developed an axiomatization for FOL which is housed
in the IFF First Order Logic (meta) Ontology (IFF-FOL). I still need to
develop the equational aspect of FOL (straightforward) and the FOL
semantics.

--------------------

2. Last month I developed an axiomatization for the Simple Common Logic
(SCL). This follows what I have been calling on the SCL list a 'moderately'
folded semantics.

3. In the past week or so I have been working on an axiomatization for the
*Multitudes* metalanguage and theory of John L. Bell (Perhaps well-known
from the book "Models and Ultraproducts: An Introduction", coauthored with
A. B. Slomson.). http://publish.uwo.ca/~jbell/.
Hopefully, this document can help explain the IFF-KIF metalanguage.
