In a forthcoming paper, Walter Carnielli and Abilio Rodrigues propose aBasic Logic of Evidence(BLE) whose natural deduction rules are thought of as preservingevidenceinstead of truth.BLEturns out to be equivalent to Nelson’s paraconsistent logicN4, resulting from adding strong negation to Intuitionistic logic without Intuitionistic negation. The Carnielli/Rodrigues understanding of evidence is informal. Here we provide a formal alternative, using justification logic. First we introduce a modal logic,KX4, in whichcan be read as asserting there is implicit evidence forX, where we understand evidence to permit contradictions. We showBLEembeds intoKX4in the same way that Intuitionistic logic embeds intoS4. Then we formulate a new justification logic,JX4, in which the implicit evidence motivatingKX4is made explicit.KX4embeds intoJX4via a realization theorem. ThusBLEhas both implicit and explicit possibly contradictory evidence interpretations in a formal sense.
