Notes

  1. 1.

    In this section, conditional logic is described along the lines of NSS for convenience in order to represent the semantics of conditional logic using NSS after this section.

  2. 2.

    For a category \(\mathcal{C}\), \(ob(\mathcal{C})\) means a set of all objects of \(\mathcal{C}\) and \(mor(\mathcal{C})\) means a set of all morphisms of \(\mathcal{C}\).

  3. 3.

    \(\bar{a}\) means \( ( a_1, \ldots , a_n )\).
