Title: Multirole Logic (Extended Abstract),
Abstract: We identify multirole logic as a new form of logic in which
conjunction/disjunction is interpreted as an ultrafilter on the power set of
some underlying set (of roles) and the notion of negation is generalized to
endomorphisms on this underlying set. We formalize both multirole logic (MRL)
and linear multirole logic (LMRL) as natural generalizations of classical logic
(CL) and classical linear logic (CLL), respectively, and also present a
filter-based interpretation for intuitionism in multirole logic. Among various
meta-properties established for MRL and LMRL, we obtain one named multiparty
cut-elimination stating that every cut involving one or more sequents (as a
generalization of a (binary) cut involving exactly two sequents) can be
eliminated, thus extending the celebrated result of cut-elimination by Gentzen.
