V 111
Judgment Function/Quine: instead of multivalent logic: if e.g. "It is a mouse" nor "It is a squirrel" is neither alleged, the conjunction is rejected. But: e.g. "It is mouse/"It is in the kitchen": here the conjunction will be left open if none of the parts is claimed or denied.
Cf. >Multi-valued logic.
X 17ff
Function/Quine: can be interpreted as relations. E.g. the "square of" can be explained as the relation {xy: x = y²} between square and root. But not every relation is a function - it is crucial that we can speak of the R of x if there is one at all: "the square of n".
Def "Func R": stands for "R I ^R ‹ I" or "∀x∀y∀z[(xRz ∩ yRz)> x = y]" (identity).
This means that no two things are in relation R to the same thing. Non-function: even if R is a non-function, it is convenient to say that exactly one thing is in relation R to a thing x. x is then the argument of R.
