Differential Extensions
An initial universe of discourse supplies the groundwork for any number of further extensions, beginning with the first order differential extension
The construction of
can be described in the following stages.
-
The initial alphabet
is extended by a first order differential alphabet
resulting in a first order extended alphabet
defined as follows.
-
The initial basis
is extended by a first order differential basis
resulting in a first order extended basis
defined as follows.
-
The initial space
is extended by a first order differential space or tangent space
at each point of
resulting in a first order extended space or tangent bundle space
defined as follows.
-
Finally, the initial universe
is extended by a first order differential universe or tangent universe
at each point of
resulting in a first order extended universe or tangent bundle universe
defined as follows.
This gives
a type defined as follows.
A proposition in a differential extension of a universe of discourse is called a differential proposition and forms the analogue of a system of differential equations in ordinary calculus. With these constructions, the first order extended universe and the first order differential propositions
we arrive at the foothills of differential logic.
Table 11 summarizes the notations needed to describe the first order differential extensions of propositional calculi in a systematic manner.
