neutrosophic set
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 0100 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).
