Definition:Fiber of Truth
From ProofWiki
Definition
Let $\Bbb B = \left\{{T, F}\right\}$ be a boolean domain.
Let $f : X \to \Bbb B$ be a boolean-valued function.
The fiber of truth (under $f$) is the fiber or preimage of $T$ and can be denoted $ \left[\left|{f}\right|\right]$:
- $ \left[\left|{f}\right|\right] = \left\{{x \in X: f \left({x}\right) = T}\right\}$
Comment
The phrase fiber of truth (with the same meaning)is occasionally seen in natural language.
In particular:
- "... to extract the fiber of truth from this tissue of lies ..."
sounds as though it would be used in the context of the courtroom by a lawyer waxing rhetorical.
