: Well, for now it doesn't have a good place to go to. As to not being ternary logic per se, it can be reduced to one pretty easily though: define 1 as TRUE, 0 as FALSE, and anything in between as MAYBE, then the operator tables can be reproduced exactly. Since the "variable truths" are just [[wp:Probability|probabilities]], I'm not sure what more refs are needed without making it appear more complicated than necessary.
: This C entry was sort of targeting the kudos part of the task. To me, the most interesting place to use a "maybe" would be at the control flows (<code>if3</code>), but that requires knowledge of ''how'' ambiguous such an ambiguity is, hence the numeric values. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 14:51, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
 
<s>I suggest: A good place for it to go to is as a "Draft Task" with appropriate details of what the task is rather then complicate [[Ternary_logic]]. Also: A brief description of "variable truths" (or even [[wp:Qubit|Qubit]]s) might help the draft task.</s> On rethinking, your point about the ''"C entry was sort of targeting the kudos"'' is about right. Indeed I have yet to see a more pratical use for Ternary Logic. ¢ However - maybe - [[wp:Balanced_ternary|Balanced Ternary]] Arithmetic appears to have an advantage, as Binary Addition is takes 58% more iterations, and Binary Multiplication takes 150% more iterations then Balanced Ternary. ¢

: Eh which C code are we talking about? This topic was about using floating point to represent probability (or so I thought), so the natural thing is using range 0 to 1. I don't see how -1 got in here? --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 11:56, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 
==another ternary truth table==
 
I found another ternary truth table that I used for validation of some of the other functions for the REXX example (which shows more functions) at:
