Intuitionistic Mereology II: Overlap and Disjointness

This paper extends the axiomatic treatment of intuitionistic mereology introduced in Maffezioli and Varzi ( Synthese, 198 (S18), 4277–4302 2021 ) by examining the behavior of constructive notions of overlap and disjointness. We consider both (i) various ways of defining such notions in terms of other intuitionistic mereological primitives, and (ii) the possibility of treating them as mereological primitives of their own.
