Abstract: In this paper we consider the intuitionistic non-Fregean sentential calculus with Suszko's identity (⁠|$\mathsf{ISCI}$|⁠). After recalling the basic concepts of the logic and its associated Hilbert proof system, we introduce a new sound and complete class of models for |$\mathsf{ISCI}$|⁠ , called Topological Beth (⁠|${\mathsf{TB}}$|⁠) models, that can be viewed as algebraic counterparts (and extensions) of sheaf-theoretic topological models of intuitionistic logic. From this semantical study we define a family of sound and cut-free complete labelled calculi that capture both the Kripke and the |${\mathsf{TB}}$| semantics. Using a key property of the forcing relation in |${\mathsf{TB}}$| models, called regularity, we show termination and decidability results. Finally we discuss the automation of the proof search in one of the labelled calculi and its implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
