public class PriestWorld
extends net.sf.tweety.commons.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.

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

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

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
