< logic > 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 0 - the fuzzy set (for n=100 and i=0, and 0 - the classical set (for n=100 and i=0, with t,f either 0 or 100);
- the paraconsistent set (for n>100 and i=0, with both t,f - 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).
