Abstract

Classical logics are explosive, meaning that everything follows from a contradiction. Paraconsistent logics are logics that are not explosive. This paper presents the meta-theory of a paraconsistent infinite-valued logic, in particular new results showing that while the question of validity for a given formula can be reduced to a consideration of only finitely many truth values, this does not mean that the logic collapses to a finite-valued logic. All definitions and theorems are formalized in the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant.
