The event calculus is a logical theory for representing and reasoning about events and about the way in which they change the state of some real or artificial world. It deals both with action events, which are performed by agents, and with external events, which are outside the control of any agent.
The events 1 and 6 are mutually exclusive but not collectively exhaustive. The events "even" (2,4 or 6) and "not-6" (1,2,3,4, or 5) are also collectively exhaustive but not mutually exclusive. In some forms of mutual exclusion only one event can ever occur, whether collectively exhaustive or not.
Suppose (X n) is a sequence of random variables with Pr(X n = 0) = 1/n 2 for each n. The probability that X n = 0 occurs for infinitely many n is equivalent to the probability of the intersection of infinitely many [X n = 0] events. The intersection of infinitely many such events is a set of outcomes common to all of them.
An event in the universe is caused by the set of events in its causal past. An event contributes to the occurrence of events in its causal future. Upon choosing a frame of reference, one can assign coordinates to the event: three spatial coordinates x → = ( x , y , z ) {\displaystyle {\vec {x}}=(x,y,z)} to describe the location and one time ...
In a standard 52-card deck, there are twenty-six red cards and four kings, two of which are red, so the probability of drawing a red or a king is 26/52 + 4/52 – 2/52 = 28/52. Events are collectively exhaustive if all the possibilities for outcomes are exhausted by those possible events, so at least one of those outcomes must occur.
For any given date up to February 28 falling on a particular weekday, the 3 common years are 5, 11, and 22 years after the leap year, so with intervals of 5, 6, 11, and 6 years. Thus the cycle is the same, but with the 5-year interval after instead of before the leap year.
These timelines of world history detail recorded events since the creation of writing roughly 5000 years ago to the present day. For events from c. 3200 BC – c. 500 see: Timeline of ancient history; For events from c. 500 – c. 1499, see: Timeline of post-classical history; For events from c. 1500, see: Timelines of modern history
Negation: the symbol appeared in Heyting in 1930 [2] [3] (compare to Frege's symbol ⫟ in his Begriffsschrift [4]); the symbol appeared in Russell in 1908; [5] an alternative notation is to add a horizontal line on top of the formula, as in ¯; another alternative notation is to use a prime symbol as in ′.
