Abstract

Proof systems play a major role in the formal study of diagrammatic logical systems. Typically, the style of inference is not directly comparable to traditional sentential systems, to study the diagrammatic aspects of inference. In this work, we present a proof system for Euler diagrams with shading in the style of sequent calculus. We prove it to be sound and complete. Furthermore we outline how this system can be extended to incorporate heterogeneous logical descriptions. Finally, we explain how small changes allow for reasoning with intuitionistic logic.
