Interpretation<PlBeliefSet,PlFormula>

public class PriestWorld extends AbstractInterpretation<PlBeliefSet,PlFormula>
A three-valued interpretation for propositional logic from Priest's three valued logic (3VL) [Priest, G.: Logic of paradox. Journal of Philosophical Logic 8, 219-241 (1979)]. Every proposition gets one of three truth values: true, false, both.

  • Constructor Details

    • PriestWorld

      public PriestWorld()
      Creates a new world where all propositions get the truth value FALSE.
    • PriestWorld

      public PriestWorld(PriestWorld other)
      Creates a new world which is a copy of the given world
      Parameters:
      other - some other world
  • Method Details

    • set

      public void set(Proposition p, PriestWorld.TruthValue val)
      Sets the value of the given proposition.
      Parameters:
      p - some proposition.
      val - some truth value.
    • get

      Returns the truth value of the given proposition.
      Parameters:
      p - a proposition
      Returns:

    • satisfies

      public boolean satisfies(PlFormula formula) throws IllegalArgumentException
      Description copied from interface: Interpretation
      Checks whether this interpretation satisfies the given formula.
      Parameters:
      formula - a formula .
      Returns:
      "true" if this interpretation satisfies the given formula.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the formula does not correspond to the expected language.
    • satisfies3VL

      public PriestWorld.TruthValue satisfies3VL(PlFormula formula) throws IllegalArgumentException
      Determines the 3-valued truth value of the given formula.
      Parameters:
      formula - some formula
      Returns:
      the 3-valued truth value of the formula.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the formula is of unknown type
    • getBinarybase

      public Collection<Proposition> getBinarybase()
      Returns the binary base of this world, i.e. the set of all propositions which are assigned either to TRUE or FALSE.
      Returns:
      the binary base of this world.
    • getConflictbase

      public Collection<Proposition> getConflictbase()
      Returns the conflict base of this world, i.e. the set of all propositions which are assigned to BOTH.
