Abstract
This paper delves into the general algebraic semantics of logic, exploring the fundamental connections between logical systems and their corresponding algebraic structures. We investigate how various logical concepts, such as formulas, proofs, and entailment, are mirrored in algebraic constructs like algebras, homomorphisms, and congruences. The paper aims to provide a structured framework for understanding the algebraic semantics of logic, encompassing propositional logic, first-order logic, while highlighting the advantages and limitations of this approach. We will demonstrate how algebraic semantics can be used for reasoning about logical properties, proving soundness and completeness theorems, and developing new logical systems. The paper will include examples and mathematical derivations to illustrate the core principles and applications of the theory.
