N2 - We define the notions of a canonical inference rule and a canonical constructive system in the framework of strict single-conclusion Gentzen-type systems (or, equivalently, natural deduction systems), and develop a corresponding general non-deterministic Kripke-style semantics. We show that every constructive canonical system induces a class of non-deterministic Kripke-style frames, for which it is strongly sound and complete. This non-deterministic semantics is used to show that such a system always admits a strong form of the cut-elimination theorem, and for providing a decision procedure for such systems.
