Category:Non-binary truth values ontology

This is a Category for various possible responses to the question "is this statement true?" which define themselves according to the range of possible ways statements actually apply to the real world or some specific defined reality that can be probed and investigated. In concept, the range of possibilities that could go in here may be infinite, or at least very large; the number of possible correspondences between statements and reality is proportional to the relationship between any particular imagined model and real things.

Groupings of truth values[edit]

1. [S0] (pronounced [S0]) non-binary truth value (logic) (UU) 1:(-)1:(-)1
2. [S0] (pronounced [S0]) binary truth value 1:(-)1:(-)1

Truthy statements[edit]

1. [STM] (pronounced [STM]) true (logic) 1:(-)1:(-)1

618. statement which is technically true in some contexts
618. statement which is technically true in most contexts
618. backhandedly-true statement / backhandedly correct statement -> a statement which says one particular thing on the surface, and has a particular reasoning for why that's true, but where the surface statement turns out to be true for another different reason that likely really goes against the intention behind the original reasoning for the statement. named in reference to "backhanded compliments", which are statements that sound like compliments but end up complimenting something unflattering.

Falsy statements[edit]

1. [STM] (pronounced [STM]) false (logic) 1:(-)1:(-)1
2. statement with no possible backing claims 1:(-)1:(-)1
3. [PT] misinformation or disinformation 1:(-)1:(-)1

618. statement with logical contradictions
618. statement which is logical but not sound -> a lot of the brown propositions and some of the blue ones are literally just this.
