Research Type Theoretical In this paper we define and study an extension of autoepistemic logic (AEL) called distributed autoepistemic logic (d AEL) with multiple agents that have full introspection in their own knowledge as well as in that of others. We define 2and 3-valued semantic operators for d AEL. Using these operators, approximation fixpoint theory, an abstract algebraic framework that unifies different knowledge representation formalisms, immediately yields us a family of semantics for d AEL, each based on different intuitions that are wellstudied in the context of AEL. In this paper we study the semantics of d AEL(ID), but for practical applications, a decision procedure for d AEL(ID) or an expressively rich subset of it needs to be developed. The complexity of determining access rights based on a theory written in d AEL(ID) should be studied.

Pseudocode No The paper defines logical systems and their semantics using formal definitions and mathematical notation, but it does not include pseudocode or clearly labeled algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper is theoretical and does not mention releasing any open-source code for the described logic or its implementation.
Open Datasets No The paper is theoretical and does not use datasets for training or evaluation. The examples provided are illustrative, not empirical data.
Dataset Splits No The paper is theoretical and does not involve empirical data or dataset splits for training or validation.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical and does not describe computational experiments that would require hardware specifications.
Software Dependencies No The paper defines a logical system and analyzes it formally; it does not mention specific software implementations or dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical and does not describe empirical experiments, thus there are no experimental setup details, hyperparameters, or training settings to report.
