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.

Famous quotes containing the words relations and/or models:

    Happy will that house be in which the relations are formed from character; after the highest, and not after the lowest order; the house in which character marries, and not confusion and a miscellany of unavowable motives.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ... your problem is your role models were models.
    Jane Wagner (b. 1935)
