Logics for stable and unstable mereological relations
In this paper we present logics about stable and unstable versions of several well-known relations from mereology: part-of, overlap and underlap. An intuitive semantics is given for the stable and unstable relations, describing them as dynamic counterparts of the base mereological relations. Stable relations are described as ones that always hold, while unstable relations hold sometimes. A set of first-order sentences is provided to serve as axioms for the stable and unstable relations, and representation...
