Cut as a Semantical Principle
The eliminability of the Cut rule in the sequent calculus is a cornerstone of proof-theory. It guarantees a series of nice properties of the calculus, like consistency via subformula property, etc. Cut has been usually considered a syntactical rule. We want to defy such an assumption. We see reasons for taking it as a semantical principle. If this thesis is accepted, then as a consequence we obtain a semantics for intuitionistic propositional logic.
