Usage notes

This Item refers to the greatest possible category of truth values, including every answer to a statement or question which is neatly categorizable into particular values but which collectively are not reducible down to just two. It includes answers such as "true" and "false" but also "unknown", "used to be considered correct in 1930 but isn't now", and "subjective statement which will always be true to its speaker in a circular way but is not true in real life".
