Degrees of Truth, Degrees of Falsity

چکیده
In this paper I recall the reasons in favour of extending the classical conception of truth to include degrees of truth as well as truth value gaps and gluts, then provide a sketch of a new system of logic that provides all of these simultaneously. Despite its power, the resulting system is quite simple, combining degrees of truth and degrees of falsity to provide a very flexible and elegant conception of truth value.

Sweet SIXTEEN : Automation via Embedding into Classical Higher-Order Logic
Introduction. Classical logics are based on the bivalence principle, that is, the set of truth-values V has cardinality |V | = 2, usually with V = {T,F} where T and F stand for truthhood and falsity, respectively. Many-valued logics generalize this requirement to more or less arbitrary sets of truth-values, rather referred to as truth-degrees in that context. Popular examples of many-valued log...
متن کاملHandling Borderline Cases Using Degrees: An Information Processing Perspective
Although linguistic vagueness is generally related to the existence of borderline cases, the main theories of vagueness are not primarily aimed at handling borderline cases explicitly. As a result, these theories are able to avoid the use of truth degrees, e.g. by focusing on truth value gaps or by taking the epistemic point of view that there is an unknown but sharp boundary between truth and ...
متن کاملVagueness by Numbers ? No Worries NICHOLAS
Theories of vagueness based upon fuzzy set theory countenance a continuum of degrees of truth, usually represented by the real numbers between 0 and 1 inclusive (with 0 representing falsity simpliciter and 1 representing truth simpliciter). Keefe (1998) argues against such theories of vagueness. 1 Keefe writes: Take the vague predicate 'tall': I claim that any numbers assigned in an attempt to ...
متن کاملMulti-objective Geometric Programming Problem Based on Neutrosophic Geometric Programming Technique
The chapter aims to give computational algorithm to solve a multiobjective non-linear programming problem using Neutrosophic geometric programming technique. As the Neutrosophic optimization technique utilizes degrees of truth-membership, falsity-membership and indeterminacy-membership functions, we made a study of correspondence among those membership functions to see its impact on optimizatio...
متن کاملReasoning about uncertainty of fuzzy events: an overview∗
Similarly to many areas of Artificial Intelligence, Logic as well has approached the definition of inferential systems that take into account elements from real-life situations. In particular, logical treatments have been trying to deal with the phenomena of vagueness and uncertainty. While a degree-based computational model of vagueness has been investigated through fuzzy set theory [88] and f...
