Abstract
The Lang-Marquis framework for reasoning in the presence of inconsistencies, which is based on the so-called forget operation, is generalized here. Despite extending the original proposal, a simpler structure is used. A notion of equivalence is introduced which is proven to provide extensionality for the framework. Some other formal properties are also given which illustrate the versatility of the definitions.
