This entry is only preliminary and is not to be taken as a scholarly citation by any means.

"Truth Value" is a reference to whether or not a claim can be declared true or false. "Truth" may be defined in numerous ways, but for the sake of this definition, there are at least four possible 'truth' values:

True
False
Undetermined
Both True and False.

One need not know whether a claim is true or false to denote a truth value. A truth value stems from at least two aspects of a statement.

1) The statement is coherent.
2) The statement makes reference to something other than itself. Determining this may be tricky. For example,. the statement "This is a statement" makes reference to something other than itself: the nature of statements.

A statement's truth value may be called undetermined if the statement is incoherent. A statement may be deemed both true and false if one accepts the tenets of dialethesim, the claim that there can be true contradictions.
