Abstract
We fix as the universe of discourse a non–empty set X whose elements can be interpreted as individuals, objects, states, alternatives, etc. We can consider various properties or attributes regarding X’s elements. A bivalent property (true or false) determines a subset of X. If X is the set of individuals of a town then the property of ”being 25” determines the subset of X of individuals of 25.
