Description for Logic with a Probability Semantics
Hardback. The book extends the development of probability logic-a logic using probability, not verity (true, false) as the basic semantic notion. The basic connectives "not," "and," and "or" are described in depth to include quantified formulas. Also discussed is the notion of the suppositional and resolution of the paradox of confirmation. Num Pages: 126 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBCD; PBT. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 239 x 162 x 14. Weight in Grams: 342.
The present study is an extension of the topic introduced in Dr. Hailperin's Sentential Probability Logic, where the usual true-false semantics for logic is replaced with one based more on probability, and where values ranging from 0 to 1 are subject to probability axioms. Moreover, as the word "sentential" in the title of that work indicates, the language there under consideration was limited to sentences constructed from atomic (not inner logical components) sentences, by use of sentential connectives ("no," "and," "or," etc.) but not including quantifiers ("for all," "there is"). An initial introduction presents an overview of the ... Read more
