Just a short question relating to truth values, if anyone is interested in discussion:
Formulas in Atomspace have two fuzzy truth values associated: probability and confidence. Now, may confidence be described as probability of probability? If so, why not to call it second order probability? And, if so, may there exist a general higher order probability notion? That would be a truth notion that may recursively apply to [initial formula], to [[initial formula] with associated truth value], and so on, producing a pattern: [...[[[initial formula] with associated truth value] with associated truth value] ...]. Is this making any sense? Recent research documents that dr. Goertzel published around here talk about specific distinctive interpretations of probability and confidence. Those are some nice correspondence fitting ideas, but taking the above under consideration, may there exist some general, recursive interpretation that makes use only of one kind of higher order of probability? Kind regards, and hoping not to disturb too much, ivan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "opencog" group.
