<
logic> A generalisation of the
intuitionistic set,
classical
set,
fuzzy set,
paraconsistent set, {dialetheist
set},
paradoxist set,
tautological set based on
Neutrosophy. An element x(T, I, F) belongs to the
set in
the following way: it is t true in the
set, i indeterminate in
the
set, and f false, where t, i, and f are real numbers taken
from the sets T, I, and F with no restriction on T, I, F, nor
on their sum n=t+i+f.
The
neutrosophic set generalises:
- the
intuitionistic set, which supports incomplete
set
theories (for 0 < n < 100 and i=0, 0 <= t,i,f <= 100);
- the
fuzzy set (for n=100 and i=0, and 0 <= t,i,f < =100);
- the classical
set (for n=100 and i=0, with t,f either 0 or
100);
- the
paraconsistent set (for n > 100 and i=0, with both
t,f < 100);
- the
dialetheist set, which says that the intersection of
some disjoint sets is not empty (for t=f=100 and i=0; some
paradoxist sets can be denoted this way).
