Symbolic logic

Even thongh the general linguistic structure of the propositions remains the same their symbolic counterparts provide shorter expressions. For example, antecedent part of a proposition can be symbolized as A and consequent part as B, and hence, a simple proposition in symbolic logic can be expressed as, 

If there are many snb-antecedents as A, B, C and D with consequent E then it takes the following form by use of ANDing connections. 

This is very convenient for computer programming. Engineers attach extreme importance to the symbolic logic to the extent that even teachers have abstract 

Both classical and symbolic logic systans do not care for uncertainty, and their inferences are all certain, which gives the impression to engineers that they are also correct and valid universally. However, since four decades Loth Asker Zadeh [12] proposed a logic with uncertainty ingredients that is the fuzzy logic, which is bound to be used more frequently in future.

Sometimes readers of the Neoreality series ask me why I write on God, strange realities, and religious subjects. I tend to be skeptical about the paranormal. However, I do feel that there are facets of the universe we can never understand, just as a monkey can never understand calculus, black holes, symbolic logic, and poetry. There are thoughts we can never think, visions we can only glimpse. It is at this filmy, veiled interface between human reality and a reality beyond that we may find the numinous, which some may liken to God.

Dolata and Carter [17] and Leach and Prout [18] developed two programs, WIZARD and COBRA, for the systematic conformational analysis using symbolical logic and techniques of artificial intelligence (AI). The basic idea of this approach is to develop a set of rules for the construction of molecular models derived from the method of a human expert who recognizes conformational units with well-known optimum geo-...

In order to overcome difficulties in modeling and scalability of MP models, a trend has emerged to combine MP with symbolic logic reasoning into the quantitative. Among these attempts, one of the more promising approaches has been the development of CP, which has proved to be particularly effective in scheduling applications. CP is essentially based on the idea that inference methods can accelerate the search for a solution.

The most widely used analytical technique, FTA, is a symbolic logic diagram graphically depicting the cause-and-effect relationships of a system (Ferry, 1988). 

A Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a top-down, deductive logic model that traces the failure pathways for a predetermined, undesirable condition or event, called the TOP Event. An FTA can be carried out either quantitatively or subjectively. The FTA generates a fault tree (a symbolic logic model) entering failure probabilities for the combinations of equipment failures and human errors that can result in the accident. Each immediate causal factor is examined to determine its subordinate causal factors until the root causal factors are identified. 

With all this conditioning principles in mind, the present work tries to describe in a first place the definition and properties of two fundamental symbols Logical Kronecker Deltas (LKD s) and Nested Sums. The authors hope these symbol forms turn to be as useful to the scientific community as they had been in the development of their quest of a valid computational scheme based on PC machinery, whose main features had been already explained by one of us, see for example reference [3]. 

Cause-consequence analysis uses symbolic logic trees similar to fault trees. You start with an accident or failure scenario that challenges or adversely impacts the system and then develop a bottom-up analysis. Failure probabilities are calculated and incorporated into each step of the analysis, and thus quantify the tree.
