| neutrosophic logic (Or "Smarandache logic") A generalisation of based on . A proposition is t true, i indeterminate, and f false, where t, i, and f are real values from the ranges T, I, F, with no restriction on T, I, F, or the sum n=t+i+f. Neutrosophic logic thus generalises: - , which supports incomplete theories (for 0100 and i=0, with both t,f<100); - , which says that some contradictions are true (for t=f=100 and i=0; some can be denoted this way). Compared with all other logics, neutrosophic logic introduces a percentage of "indeterminacy" - due to unexpected parameters hidden in some propositions. It also allows each component t,i,f to "boil over" 100 or "freeze" under 0. For example, in some t>100, called "overtrue". {Home (http://www.gallup.unm.edu/~smarandache/NeutLog.txt)}.
