Basic Elements of Logical Graphs

Abstract: We considers how a particular kind of graph corresponds to multiplicative intuitionistic linear logic formula. The main feature of the graphical notation is that it absorbs certain symmetries between conjunction and implication. We look at the basic definitions and present details of an implementation in the functional programming language Standard ML. This provides a functional approach to graph traversal and demonstrates how graph isomorphism be implemented in just a few lines of readable code. This works takes the initial steps towards a graphical language and toolkit for working with logic formula and derivations.
