Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Recently there has been an effort to solve the problems caused by the infamous NULL in relational databases, by systematically applying Kleene's three-valued logic to SQL. The third truth-value is unknown. In this paper we show that by using a fourth truth-value inconsistent, all the advantages of the three-valued approach can be retained, and that negation can be given a constructive, intuitionistic meaning that allows negative knowledge to be specified in the logic explicitly, without having to resort to extra-logical notions of stratification or to non-monotonic reasoning. The four-valued approach also allows for a computationally efficient treatment of query answering in the presence of inconsistencies. This is in contrast to the computationally intractable repair approach to inconsistency management. From a practical view-point we show that the Cylindric Star Algebra, developed by the authors, is particularly well suited for evaluating First Order queries on four-valued databases, and that the framework of data exchange can smoothly adapted to the four truth-values.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
