Gates and circuits via Dunn semantics

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Computer hardware is heavily reliant on classical logic, but could we use some non-classical logic instead? In this paper I suggest an alternative model of implementation of logic gates in electronics. In particular, I propose a model that takes descriptions of logical connectives through means of Dunn semantics and implements them as logic gates by using a double current system: one for truth and one for falsity, instead of the classical use of a single current for both values. The outcome of this proposal should pave the way to new models of non-classical and even contra-classical computation based on paraconsistent, paracomplete and paranormal logics.
