| Truth value gaps, philosophy, logic: is an expression for the problem that occurs when a statement cannot be attributed to either of the two truth values "true" or "false". The reason for this may be that the statement is meaningless (not negatable), it refers to a future event or has a paradoxical formulation. See also truth values, truth value agglomerations, supervaluation, dialethism, paradoxes, future._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
