Abstract

Contact Logic is a formalism for reasoning about the relation of contact between regions. We introduce a new inference problem for Contact Logic, the unification problem, which extends the validity problem by allowing one to replace variables by terms before testing for validity. Our main result is the proof that unification with constants in Contact Logic is finitary.
