Can two different lattices of theories be related?

0

Yes, since lattices of theories are based at first order languages, two different lattices of theories can be related through an interpretation between their underlying languages. The notion of a first order interpretation was discussed as example 4.11 on page 74 of the book by Jon Barwise and Jerry Seligman [op. cit.]. First order language interpretations, which generalize first order language morphisms, are axiomatized in the IFF Type Language Namespace. An interpretation from one language to a second language maps the relations of the first language to the expressions (formulas) of the second language. Each first order interpretation defines a truth infomorphism between the associated truth classifications (see Barwise and Seligman [op. cit.]). In turn, this truth infomorphism defines a truth concept morphism between the associated truth concept lattices, which maps between formal truth concepts (representing object level ontologies) in a very semantic way.
