| Multi-valued logic: a logic that assumes more than the two classical truth values true and false. There are trivalent logics with possibility or indeterminacy as a third value. For tetravalent logics there are e.g. ¼ or ¾ as additional values that introduce a gradation in the rating. In the case of infinite-valued logics, the truth values can be interpreted as probability values._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Robert Brandom on Multi-valued Logic - Dictionary of Arguments
I 487 Multi-valued logic/Brandom: Definition designated: the fact that a statement has any truth value at all. >Truth values. Designation indicates what truth is. >Truth. designated: requires a definition on the assertion. Definition Multi-valued: embedded content - ((s) a particular one of several possible truth values). Interpretation: assigns two types of value: a) whether designated, b) which multi- value. Standard situation: it is defined which multi-values are designated. Designation value: everything that plays a role for pragmatic significance of free-standing sentences. bottom-up: Designation > formal validity Basic principle: the substitution never changes with the same multi-value designation. I 488 Multi-values = equivalence classes from logically derivable sentences - Designation = logical validity. >Validity._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
