Supplement to Preference Logic

Long descriptions for some figures in Preference Logic

Diagram A description

Commuting diagram where new proposition \(A\) is added in parallel to an existing base.

It consists of four vertices laid out in a square with arrows connecting some of them:

  1. upper left corner: \(\langle \mathscr{B}, < \rangle\) which has an arrow labeled \(\parallel A\) pointing to the vertice in the upper right corner and an unlabeled arrow pointing to the vertice in the lower left corner
  2. upper right corner: \(\langle \mathscr{B} \parallel A, < \rangle\) which has an unlabeled arrow pointing to the vertice in the lower right corner
  3. lower left corner: \(\langle W, \preceq \rangle\) which has an arrow labeled \(\sharp A\) pointing to the vertice in the lower right corner
  4. lower right corner: \(\langle W, \sharp A(\preceq) \rangle\)

Diagram B description

Commuting diagram where new proposition \(A\) is placed at the top of the priority graph.

It consists of four vertices laid out in a square with arrows connecting some of them:

  1. upper left: \(\langle \mathscr{B}, < \rangle\) which has an arrow labeled \(A; \mathscr{B}\) pointing to the vertice in the upper right corner and an unlabeled arrow pointing to the vertice in the lower left corner
  2. upper right: \(\langle A; \mathscr{B}, < \rangle\) which has an unlabeled arrow pointing to the vertice in the lower right corner
  3. lower left: \(\langle W, \preceq \rangle\) which has an arrow labeled \(\Uparrow A\) pointing to the vertice in the lower right corner
  4. lower right: \(\langle W, \Uparrow A(\preceq) \rangle\)
