Nearness relations in environmental space
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an experiment with human subjects concerning the vague spatial relation ‘near’ in environmental space. After the topic is introduced and relevant previous work surveyed, the experiment is described. Three approaches to experimental analysis are presented and discussed: nearness neighbourhoods as regions with broad boundaries, fuzzy nearness and distance measures, and four-valued logic. Issues discussed in further detail are the truth gap – truth glut hypotheses regarding the psychology of vague predicates, and formal properties of the three-valued nearness relation. Conclusions are drawn and directions for future work suggested.

Nearness relations and topology
J. Dobrakovová and the author in [7] introduced the relation of nearness in Banach space. In this paper we will go on investigating the nearness relation in a linear space with a countable vector base, focusing the results to topological properties of such relations.
متن کاملNearness of Objects. Approximation Space Model Revisited
This paper is devoted to a nearness relation in an Efremovic̆proximity space. The basic approach is to consider the nearness of the upper and lower approximation of a set introduced by Z. Pawlak during the early 1980s as a foundation for rough sets. Two forms of nearness relations are considered, namely, a spatial EFand a descriptive EFrelation. This leads to a study of the nearness of objects e...
متن کاملComputational Structure in Three-Valued Nearness Relations
The development of cognitively plausible models of human spatial reasoning may ultimately result in computational systems that are better equipped to meet human needs. This paper explores how human subjects perceive the qualitative spatial relation nearness within an environmental space. Based on experimental data, a three-valued nearness relation is analysed in two stages. First, the results a...
متن کاملNearness of Visual Objects. Application of Rough Sets in Proximity Spaces
The problem considered in this paper is how to describe and compare visual objects. The solution to this problem stems from a consideration of nearness relations in two different forms of Efremovic̆ proximity spaces. In this paper, the visual objects are picture elements in digital images. In particular, this problem is solved in terms of the application of rough sets in proximity spaces. The ba...
متن کاملNearness of Objects: Extension of Approximation Space Model
The problem considered in this paper is the extension of an approximation space to include a nearness relation. Approximation spaces were introduced by Zdzisław Pawlak during the early 1980s as frameworks for classifying objects by means of attributes. Pawlak introduced approximations as a means of approximating one set of objects with another set of objects using an indiscernibility relation t...
