A proposal for defining abstractions and refinements is given in terms of three-valued logic applied to a
domain of discourse consisting of a property and an entity set. Definitions for several related concepts
flow naturally from these, including possible orderings on refinements and abstractions, as well as the
notions of non-determinism, enrichment and base abstractions. |
