Hartry Field on Truth Value Agglomeration - Dictionary of Arguments
II 145 Truth Value Agglomeration/Field: E.g. the claim of the absence of a truth value agglomeration in a sentence "A" would be the claim "~ [(true ("A") u true ("~ A) "]" which should be equivalent to "~ (A u ~ A)". Kleene cannot claim this absence for different sentences. >Multivalued logic. Priest can. >Dialethism. Different sentences: E.g. Liar-sentence and other paradoxes. >Liar paradox, >Paradoxes. Truth Value Gap/Logical Form/Field: to claim a truth value gap in a sentence "A" (A"), would mean to assert: "[true ("A") v true ("~A")] and that should be equivalent to "~(A v ~ A)". >Truth values, >Truth value gaps._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
