Well-founded Semantics - Relations To Other Models

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.

    “... your problem is your role models were models.”
