Abstract

Russell O'Connor presents an alternative method of bridging the gap between constructive and classical logics to facilitate integrated reasoning in particular for interactive theorem provers. Instead of adding classical axioms (like the principle of the excluded middle x∨¬x) to a constructive logic, the author proposes the opposite. He interprets constructive logics as an extension to classical logics by adding two new logical connectives + and Σ for constructive disjunction and constructive existential quantification.
