I didn't want to hijack ikegami's post at Bit Checker. So here a new node.

The replies about 3-state logic got me thinking about what a great feature this would be in Artificial Intelligence software. It would be like having a "I'm undecided, leaning toward negative/(or positive), but willing to be convinced 1 way or the other. My willingness to be convinced, and resistance to change, are indicated by scalar values I set and can change from 0 to infinity.

Then you start looping thru all the tri-state possibilities.

Will Perl6 have features that facilitate this sort of "artificial thought"? Eh... they probably have a virtual chess player software that does this at IBM.

I guess it would be some sort of fancy c wriiten function that loops thru all possible combinations, and summarizes the output in an array of values., probably a bi-nomial distribution of probably outcomes.

Sounds like schoolwork. :-)
