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 Detail

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 Detail

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

public PriestWorld.TruthValue get(Proposition p)

Returns the truth value of the given proposition.

Parameters:

p - a proposition

Returns:

a truth value.

satisfies

public boolean satisfies(PlFormula formula)
                  throws java.lang.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:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the formula does not correspond to the expected language.

satisfies3VL

public PriestWorld.TruthValue satisfies3VL(PlFormula formula)
                                    throws java.lang.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:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the formula is of unknown type

getBinarybase

public java.util.Collection<Proposition> getBinarybase()

Returns:

the binary base of this world.

getConflictbase

public java.util.Collection<Proposition> getConflictbase()

Returns the conflict base of this world, i.e. the set of all propositions which are assigned to BOTH.

Returns:

the conflict base of this world.

satisfies

public boolean satisfies(PlBeliefSet beliefBase)
                  throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: Interpretation

Checks whether this interpretation satisfies the given knowledge base.

Parameters:
