Some Preliminary Steps Towards Metaverse Logic

TL;DR

This paper explores developing a new logic framework for the metaverse that can handle both real and fictional domains, moving beyond traditional first-order logic by using non-conventional extensions.

Contribution

It proposes a minimal composite logic strategy for the metaverse, integrating AI and common-sense reasoning to address the limitations of existing logical systems.

Findings

First-order logic is insufficient for complex information systems.

Non-conventional logic extensions can better model metaverse scenarios.

Informal, intuition-based discussion supports the proposed approach.

Abstract

Assuming that the term 'metaverse' could be understood as a computer-based implementation of multiverse applications, we started to look in the present work for a logic that would be powerful enough to handle the situations arising both in the real and in the fictional underlying application domains. Realizing that first-order logic fails to account for the unstable behavior of even the most simpleminded information system domains, we resorted to non-conventional extensions, in an attempt to sketch a minimal composite logic strategy. The discussion was kept at a rather informal level, always trying to convey the intuition behind the theoretical notions in natural language terms, and appealing to an AI agent, namely ChatGPT, in the hope that algorithmic and common-sense approaches can be usefully combined.
