Relations To Other Models
The well-founded semantics can be viewed as a three-valued version of the stable model semantics. Instead of only assigning propositions true or false, it also allows for a value representing ignorance.
For example, if we know that
Specimen A is a moth if specimen A does not fly during daylight.
but we do not know whether or not specimen A flies during the day, the well-founded semantics would assign the proposition ``specimen A is a moth`` the value bottom which is neither true nor false.

Famous quotes containing the words relations and/or models:
“It is commonplace that a problem stated is well on its way to solution, for statement of the nature of a problem signifies that the underlying quality is being transformed into determinate distinctions of terms and relations or has become an object of articulate thought.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves—and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us—for various reasons, at various levels of intensity—they enrich the quality of our emotional life.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
