First-Order Logic Formalization
Core Statements
1. All devotees are ISKCON acharyas:
∀x (Devotee(x) → ISKCONAcharya(x))
∀x (Devotee(x) → ISKCONAcharya(x))
2. There exists one devotee who is Srila Prabhupada:
∃x (Devotee(x) ∧ IsSrilaPrabhupada(x))
∃x (Devotee(x) ∧ IsSrilaPrabhupada(x))
Disjunction Forms
Inclusive Disjunction (∨)
∀x (Devotee(x) → ISKCONAcharya(x)) ∨ ∃x (Devotee(x) ∧ IsSrilaPrabhupada(x))
Exclusive Disjunction (⊕)
[∀x (Devotee(x) → ISKCONAcharya(x)) ∨ ∃x (Devotee(x) ∧ IsSrilaPrabhupada(x))]
∧
¬[∀x (Devotee(x) → ISKCONAcharya(x)) ∧ ∃x (Devotee(x) ∧ IsSrilaPrabhupada(x))]
∧
¬[∀x (Devotee(x) → ISKCONAcharya(x)) ∧ ∃x (Devotee(x) ∧ IsSrilaPrabhupada(x))]
Universal Quantifiers (∀)
# | Statement | Formula |
---|---|---|
1 | All devotees are ISKCON acharyas | ∀x (Devotee(x) → ISKCONAcharya(x)) |
2 | Srila Prabhupada is the founding acharya and diksha guru | ∀x (IsSrilaPrabhupada(x) → (FoundingAcharya(x) ∧ DikshaGuru(x))) |
3 | Only Srila Prabhupada is the founding acharya | ∀x (FoundingAcharya(x) → IsSrilaPrabhupada(x)) |
4 | Srila Prabhupada is an ISKCON acharya | ∀x (IsSrilaPrabhupada(x) → ISKCONAcharya(x)) |
5 | Exclusion rule for XOR | ∀x ¬(Devotee(x) ∧ IsSrilaPrabhupada(x) ∧ ISKCONAcharya(x)) |
Note: The exclusive disjunction (⊕) ensures that both conditions cannot be true simultaneously.
Predicate Definitions
- Devotee(x): x is a devotee
- ISKCONAcharya(x): x is an ISKCON acharya
- IsSrilaPrabhupada(x): x is Srila Prabhupada
- FoundingAcharya(x): x is the founding acharya of ISKCON
- DikshaGuru(x): x is a diksha guru
