Ockham’s razor and reasoning about information flow
Synthese 167 (2):391-408 (2009)
Abstract
What is the minimal algebraic structure to reason about information flow? Do we really need the full power of Boolean algebras with co-closure and de Morgan dual operators? How much can we weaken and still be able to reason about multi-agent scenarios in a tidy compositional way? This paper provides some answers.My notes
