Undecidability of compass logic

M. Marx · Journal of Logic and Computation · 1999

It is known that the tiling technique can be used to give simple proofs of undecidability of various two-dimensional modal and temporal logics. However, up until now, the simplest two-dimensional temporal logic, the compass logic of Venema, has eluded such treatment. We present a new coding of an enumeration of the tiling plane which enables us to show that the compass logic is undecidable.
