Pei Wang's uncertain logic is **not** probabilistic, though it uses frequency calculations

We have our own probabilistic logic theory called Probabilistic Logic Networks (PLN), which will be described in a book to be released toward the end of this year or the start of 2008.

The differences btween NARS and PLN are too numerous for an email, but among them are

-- PLN is based on a probabilistic semantics whereas NARS uses a different semantics -- PLN uses a combination of term logic and predicate logic whereas NARS is more strictly a term logic approach

These foundational differences lead to a large number of more specific technical differences, not surprisingly.

For instance, the NARS inference formulas only involve the uncertain truth values of relationships, whereas PLN's involve the uncertain truth values of both relationships and terms. Relatedly, the PLN induction and abduction formulas utilize Bayes rule whereas the NARS induction and abduction formulas do not...

Ben,

Is the probabilistic logic you use in Novamente the same as Pei Wang's version? If not, why do you use your version?
