We further develop the formal foundations of Paraconsistent Belief Revision (PBR) by introducing Logics of Formal Inconsistency (LFIs) specifically designed to support the development of epistemic entrenchment-based models for belief change. The interpretation of formal consistency -- and, more broadly, of paraconsistency -- in terms of the epistemic attitudes adopted by rational agents and of these agents reasoning with potentially contradictory yet non-trivial epistemic states, respectively, is already well-established within the literature on PBR based on LFIs. However, previous approaches faced a key limitation: the absence of replacement in most LFIs prevented the construction of entrenchment-based operations. We address this gap by first revisiting and systematizing core properties essential for such modeling, formalizing them within Cbr, a previously introduced logic whose foundational properties we now examine and develop in depth. Building on this, we introduce RCbr, a replacement-enriched, self-extensional extension of Cbr, which makes it possible -- within an LFI-based framework -- to formally define epistemic entrenchment and to construct entrenchment-based belief revision mechanisms. This development enables a fully constructive approach to Belief Revision in paraconsistent settings, further advancing the theoretical treatment of LFIs and paraconsistency within the broader landscape of epistemic states and belief dynamics.
