Hi, All:

Just curious as to whether there is some sort of canonical extension of the standard

binary connectives: and, or, if, iff, etc. , to n-valued logic. I imagine this may have to see

with Lattices, maybe Heyting Algebras, and Order theory in general. Just wondering if

someone knows of somewhere where this has been worked out.( As more of a speculation,

I wonder if there would be

a way of considering probability theory as n-valued logic when n-->oo , tho I am pretty

sure I am being sloppy.)

Thanks.

There is no "canonical" extension, but there are plenty of many-valued logics. I suggest having a look at the SEP entry for many-valued logic.
