Truth4 Logic
Summary
T, F, B (both), N (neither) from polarity + stabilization. Explosion blocked structurally. Boolean logic = forgetful functor on Omega_tau.
Statement
%
\label{def:truth4}
The \textbf{Truth4 lattice} is the set
\[
\boxed{%
\mathrm{Truth4}
:= \{\mathsf{T},\; \mathsf{B},\; \mathsf{N},\; \mathsf{F}\}}
\]
with the following interpretation
via bipolar evaluation $(\chi_+, \chi_-)$:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $\mathsf{T}$ (\textbf{true}):
$\chi_+(P) = 1$ and $\chi_-(P) = 1$.
Both sectors confirm $P$.
The predicate is \emph{fully determined and affirmative}.
\item $\mathsf{F}$ (\textbf{false}):
$\chi_+(P) = 0$ and $\chi_-(P) = 0$.
Both sectors deny $P$.
The predicate is \emph{fully determined and negative}.
\item $\mathsf{B}$ (\textbf{both}):
$\chi_+(P) = 1$ and $\chi_-(P) = 0$,
or $\chi_+(P) = 0$ and $\chi_-(P) = 1$.
One sector confirms and the other denies.
The predicate is \emph{overdetermined} ---
it is ``true and false simultaneously''
from different spectral perspectives.
\item $\mathsf{N}$ (\textbf{neither}):
the predicate has no decisive witness
in either sector.
Neither $\chi_+(P)$ nor $\chi_-(P)$
produces a conclusive value.
The predicate is \emph{underdetermined} ---
it is ``neither true nor false''
due to insufficient spectral evidence.
\end{enumerate}
The encoding as pairs is:
\[
\mathsf{T} = (1, 1),
\quad
\mathsf{F} = (0, 0),
\quad
\mathsf{B} = (1, 0) \text{ or } (0, 1),
\quad
\mathsf{N} = (\bot, \bot),
\]
where $\bot$ denotes the absence of a decisive witness.
