Logical Structures for Representation of Knowledge and Uncertainty

En savoir plus sur le livre

The book introduces a novel approach to logic through a truth table or 'chain set' logic that merges probabilities with truth values. It simplifies decision-making by assigning values such as 1 for yes, 0 for no, and fractional values for uncertainty. Conditional probabilities are articulated using IF THEN statements, eliminating the need for predicate calculus. The book also addresses inconsistencies found in first-order logic, presenting a more coherent interpretation of various logical expressions within the framework of chain set logic.
