Abstract:We introduce a methodology whereby an arbitrary logic system L can be enriched with temporal features to create a new system T(L). The new system is constructed by combining L with a pure propositional temporal logic T (such as linear temporal logic with ldquoSincerdquo and ldquoUntilrdquo) in a special way. We refer to this method as ldquoadding a temporal dimension to Lrdquo or just ldquotemporalising Lrdquo. We show that the logic system T(L) preserves several properties of the original temporal logic like soundness, completeness, decidability, conservativeness and separation over linear flows of time. We then focus on the temporalisation of first-order logic, and a comparison is make with other first-order approaches to the handling of time.
