Abstract

We define base-extension semantics (BeS) using atomic systems based on sequent calculus rather than natural deduction. While traditional BeS aligns naturally with intuitionistic logic due to its constructive foundations, we show that sequent calculi with multiple conclusions yield a BeS framework more suited to classical semantics. The harmony in classical sequents leads to straightforward semantic clauses derived solely from right introduction rules. This framework enables a Sandqvist-style completeness proof that extracts a sequent calculus proof from any valid semantic consequence. Moreover, we show that the inclusion or omission of atomic cut rules meaningfully affects the semantics, yet completeness holds in both cases.
