Admissibility of $Π_2$-Inference Rules: interpolation, model completion, and contact algebras

We devise three strategies for recognizing admissibility of non-standard inference rules via interpolation, uniform interpolation, and model completions. We apply our machinery to the case of symmetric implication calculus $\mathsf{S^2IC}$, where we also supply a finite axiomatization of the model completion of its algebraic counterpart, via the equivalent theory of contact algebras. Using this result we obtain a finite basis for admissible $Π_2$-rules.
