Possibilistic semantics and measurement methods in complex systems

Possibility theory is a new mathematical theory for the representation of uncertainty. Toward the end of developing a strictly possibilistic semantics of natural systems, the following aspects are considered: the semantics of possibility statements in relation to modal logic, natural language, and mathematical possibility theory; a strong consistency relation for probability and possibility; the basis for the application of possibility theory to complex systems; and physical measurement procedures for possibility.<
