Proof Theory with Deep Inference
As we discovered recently, deep inference allows for a radically new, simple and elegant proof theory, when coupled with a notion of premise-conclusion symmetry. A new range of possibilities is open, with direct impact on computer science. We can in fact design deductive systems for important logics, like classical, linear and modal logics, whose rules are all local and atomic, including cut, contraction, promotion, additive context management, etc. Moreover, several modularity properties hold that are provably impossible for shallow calculi. We can study logics arising from process algebras for which no presentation in shallow calculi exists. We can also study new, meaningful notions of normalisation.
