AbstractThe aim of the paper is to provide a metalogical systematisation in thearea of deontic action logic based on Boolean algebra. Differences amongthe systems involve two aspects: the level of closedness of a deontic actionlogic and the possibility of performing no action at all. It is also shownthat the existing definitions of obligation in these systems are unacceptabledue to their non-intuitive interpretation or paradoxical consequences. As asolution we propose a minimal axiomatic characterisation of obligation withan adequate class of models. The paper also describes how deontic actionlogic can be used to answer the questions from the Polish driving license test.Keywords: deontic action logic, obligation, principle of obligationeconomy, closedness, action theoryIntroductionWithin computer science, logical systems are usually designed with aspecific application in mind. Reusability of those systems depends largelyon their more general comparative analysis and the awareness of their pre-suppositions and consequences. The ready-made system, with well knowncharacteristics and properties, can be then used for new applications. Forthis reason we provide a metalogical systematisation in the area of deonticaction logic based on Boolean algebra.A Deontic Logic of Action [19], an article published by K. Segerberg in1982 was a milestone in the development of the logic in question since the1950s, when G. H. von Wright [26] and J. Kalinowski [10], published their
