arXiv: 1703.10251 · 2018-12-06

## TL;DR

This paper develops a dialectical approach to rough set theory, exploring the inverse problem, parthood, and opposition figures, with formal semantics linking dialectical logic to classical and dialectical figures of opposition.

## Contribution

It introduces dialectical rough logics and predicates, connecting rough set concepts with dialectical figures and opposition, expanding the algebraic semantics of rough sets.

## Key findings

- Formalization of dialectical rough logics
- Connection between dialectical negation and dialetheias
- Geometrical methods for analyzing parthood in rough sets

## Abstract

In one perspective, the main theme of this research revolves around the inverse problem in the context of general rough sets that concerns the existence of rough basis for given approximations in a context. Granular operator spaces and variants were recently introduced by the present author as an optimal framework for anti-chain based algebraic semantics of general rough sets and the inverse problem. In the framework, various sub-types of crisp and non-crisp objects are identifiable that may be missed in more restrictive formalism. This is also because in the latter cases concepts of complementation and negation are taken for granted - while in reality they have a complicated dialectical basis. This motivates a general approach to dialectical rough sets building on previous work of the present author and figures of opposition. In this paper dialectical rough logics are invented from a semantic perspective, a concept of dialectical predicates is formalised, connection with dialetheias and glutty negation are established, parthood analyzed and studied from the viewpoint of classical and dialectical figures of opposition by the present author. Her methods become more geometrical and encompass parthood as a primary relation (as opposed to roughly equivalent objects) for algebraic semantics.
