Abstract

Introduction: This paper describes a structure called chain set for representing knowledge with negations and AND, OR, and IF THEN connectives; and for inferences or the answering of questions concerning this knowledge. The answers are represented in the form of a number in the interval value [0,1], where l≤yes and 0≤no.
