Uncertainty and Indeterminacy

Florentin Smarandache

b) If your application is about decision-making and you distribute the indeterminacy, then you LOSE the degree of "pending" (i.e. you eliminate the "pending" possibility from: accept / pending / reject). c) Similarly if you have (positive, neutral, negative) particles in physics (you LOSE the "neutral" particles).

Therefore, your approach does not work for triads of the form (<A>, <neutA>, <antiA>). — On the other hand, your DIF (Distributed Indeterminacy Form) is not justified: why do you reduce the T and F the way you do, and not in a different way? Is DIF just a mathematical artifact?

Distinction between Uncertainty and Indeterminacy

Said Broumi

What is the distinction between Uncertainty and Indeterminacy?

Florentin Smarandache’s answer

Indeterminacy = <neutA>, i.e. everything included in between the opposites <A> and <antiA>.

In neutrosophy, we include everything (that exist in between the opposites) into Indeterminacy.

So, uncertainty is part of Indeterminacy; vagueness, unclearness, contradictory etc. all are part of Indeterminacy.

In the Refined Neutrosophic Set, the neutrosophic components T, I, F can be refined/split/subdivided.

So Indeterminacy I can be refined/split/subdivided (if needed in some application) into: for example —
