On the Complexity of Entailment for Cumulative Propositional Dependence Logics

arXiv:2605.21113v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper establishes and proves complexity results for entailment for cumulative propositional dependence logic and for cumulative propositional logic with team semantics. As recently shown, cumulative logics are famously characterised by System~C and exactly captured by the cumulative models of Kraus, Lehmann and Magidor. This gives rise to the entailment problem via relational models, which is specifically considered here.

Why this matters
Why now

This is a theoretical computer science paper published on arXiv, representing ongoing academic research in logic and AI.

Why it’s important

While foundational, the direct commercial or strategic implications are far removed and do not directly impact current market or geopolitical structures.

What changes

This paper refines understanding of the computational complexity of specific logical systems, which may eventually inform future AI development, but does not alter current practice.

Second-order effects
Direct

Increased understanding of the theoretical limits and capabilities of certain AI-relevant logical systems.

Second

Potential for this theoretical work to inform or optimize algorithms in future, more advanced AI systems.

Third

Very long-term, extremely indirect contribution to the foundational robustness of AI, supporting novel agentic behaviors or advanced reasoning capabilities.
