Interface VoidPredicate

All Superinterfaces:

Functor

All Known Subinterfaces:

VoidPredicate.Composite

public interface VoidPredicate
extends Functor

A functor that encapsulates the void predicate P/0 which is constant if consistent. Like "P()" it applies on

• non-argument void.
• returns whether the relation holds as a boolean value.

The set of all void predicates of type () is the set 2^(A⁰)=2^({()})={Ø,{()}}={True,False}.

Note that if you stick to consistent void predicates, there are only two different void predicates, constant true and constant false.
