Abstract

This paper deals with various substructural propositional logics, in particular with substructural subsystems of Nelson's constructive propositional logics N and N. DoŽen's groupoid semantics is extended to these constructive systems and is provided with an informational interpretation in terms of information pieces and operations on information pieces.
