Hybrid MKNF with Classical Negation in the Rule Component

Arun Raveendran Nair Sheela, Christophe Rey, Florence De Grancey

Hybrid MKNF knowledge bases under the well-founded semantics integrate Description Logics with Logic Programming. However, they do not support classical negation in the rule component, limiting their ability to represent explicit negative knowledge. This limitation is particularly significant in safety-critical applications, where reasoning often requires explicit negative information rather than interpreting the absence of information as evidence of absence. To address this issue, we introduce an extension of Hybrid MKNF that supports classical negation in the rule component. We formally define the syntax and semantics of the extended language and present a general procedure for computing its well-founded model.

A cubical formalisation of topos causal models: intervention, sheaf gluing, and the intuitionistic do-calculus

Karen Sargsyan

Topos causal models recast causal inference inside a topos: a causal world is a presheaf, an intervention is a characteristic map into the subobject classifier, and reasoning is carried out in the intuitionistic internal language. We give the first machine-checked account of this…
