Many-valued logic in which truth values comprise a continuous range
In logic , an infinite-valued logic (or real-valued logic or infinitely-many-valued logic ) is a many-valued logic in which truth values comprise a continuous range. Traditionally, in Aristotle's logic , logic other than bivalent logic was abnormal, as the law of the excluded middle precluded more than two possible values (i.e., "true" and "false") for any proposition .[ 1] Modern three-valued logic (trivalent logic) allows for an additional possible truth value (i.e., "undecided")[ 2] and is an example of finite-valued logic in which truth values are discrete, rather than continuous. Infinite-valued logic comprises continuous fuzzy logic , though fuzzy logic in some of its forms can further encompass finite-valued logic. For example, finite-valued logic can be applied in Boolean-valued modeling ,[ 3] [ 4] description logics ,[ 5] and defuzzification [ 6] [ 7] of fuzzy logic.
