DECISION-BEDEVILED? BE ASSERTIVE!
- LANGUAGE makes us HUMAN.
- "Mathematics is language at its best", Leonard Bloomfield (x-y), American Linguist.
- THE ALGEBRA OF ASSERTIONS GIVES US LOGICAL CONTROL. (AN ASSERTION is a DECLARATION
CERTIFIABLE as TRUE or FALSE. Thus, "Altarian women have snaky hair" is not an ASSERTION, being UNCERTIFIABLE.)
- A MEASURE GIVES US "HANDS-ON" CONTROL. ("Fractional" PROBABILITY MEASURE gives us "HANDS-ON" CONTROL
on EXPECTATION of EVENTS -- say, CONTROLLING QUALITY OF PRODUCTS.)
- WE NEED A STATEMENT-MEASURE for "HANDS-ON" CONTROL of LOGIC.
- AN INDICATOR ("TRUTH-TABLE") MEASURE FOR ASSERTIONS HAS LONG EXISTED. Herein, I TURN IT INTO
A "FRACTIONAL" MEASURE ABOUT STATEMENTS.
READY TO be ASSERTIVE about DECISIONS? IT'S AMPLIATIVE. (What's that?)
